Former Premier League star Andy Gray has stated that West Ham United are so strong in every aspect that Declan Rice’s departure has had no effect on them.
Rice was a key member of West Ham’s midfield for almost 200 games before joining Arsenal on a free transfer this summer.
West Ham brought in a slew of new players with the transfer price they got for Rice, and after a difficult start, they are now sixth in the Premier League rankings.
Gray recognized that West Ham have strength in every department and stated that it is difficult to believe they lost a player of Rice’s caliber in the summer.
He also stated that West Ham have handled the departure of the 24-year-old defensive midfielder to Arsenal with ease and that his absence has gone unnoticed.
“I think there’s strength all over the place, the wide areas, the midfield areas,” Gray remarked on beIN SPORTS.
West Ham face Rice’s Arsenal on Thursday, and it remains to be seen whether David Moyes can grab three points off the league leaders.
