Eden Hazard's π was his best weapon π #shorts
0As part of our Kit Collector special episode with West Ham's captain and England star Declan Rice and the legendary midfielder Yaya Toure, they had a chat about how ridiculously difficult was for them to defend against former Chelsea winger and Real Madrid player Eden Hazard due to his low centre of gravity.
The England international midfielder is seeing transfer speculation build again during a 2022-23 campaign in which West Ham are struggling to deliver on the 23-year-oldβs ambition. A summer move could now be on the cards, potentially one involving a nine-figure fee, and Petit has advised Rice to shelve any plans regarding a retracing of steps to Stamford Bridge β where he previously spent time in a famed academy system β and instead make his way to Premier League title hopefuls at Emirates Stadium.
Rice is one of several midfield stars that Arsenal have been linked with of late and Petit believes a raid on West Ham makes more sense than investing heavily in an Ecuador international at Brighton. The former Arsenal star added: βIf I had the choice between [Moises] Caicedo and Rice, I would take Rice for sure, because he plays in the defensive midfielder role, which is what Arsenal need. He can play anywhere in the midfield but his best position is holding midfielder. He would be the perfect option for Arsenal. I really like Caicedo, heβs a really young talented player with energy and he shows motivation and ambition every time he plays, but Iβm not sure he can play in that holding role because heβs used to playing a midfield two or three. Being a holding midfielder is different, you have to stay and guard the central defenders, to keep the balance of the team. You cannot just run everywhere, you have to be intelligent tactically. Iβm not saying Caicedo isnβt intelligent, but he hasnβt got the experience playing in that position that Rice does.β
