Arsenal fans spot what Declan Rice did moments before Gunners’ Premier League debut

Declan Rice made his Premier League debut for Arsenal on Saturday and quickly endeared himself to supporters, as he was seen showing his enthusiasm for his new club before kick-off

Declan Rice was spotted singing along to Arsenal’s pre-match anthem ahead of his Premier League debut for the club.

Gunners fans were delighted to see that their new £105million signing enjoyed hearing Louis Dunford’s ‘The Angel’, which is played ahead of matches at the Emirates Stadium. The clash at home to Nottingham Forest on Saturday, which was delayed by 30 minutes due to issues at the turnstiles, marked Rice’s first Premier League appearance since leaving his beloved West Ham in a record-breaking transfer deal last month.

Dunford’s tune contains the lyrics ‘North London Forever’ and was adopted by Arsenal during the 2021-22 season in a bid to boost the atmosphere at a stadium previously criticised for its lack thereof. It proved to be a rousing tune before kick-off against Forest and during the team huddle, supporters saw Rice mouthing the lyrics in a show of how acclimatised he already feels at his new club.

Fans on social media were buzzing, gleefully posting clips of the 24-year-old. One wrote: “Declan Rice singing along to North London Forever under his breath in the team huddle. HE GETS IT ALREADY, THE ARSENAL.”
