Man City legend Toure likens himself to Arsenal star Rice: ‘He needs to be in a winning team’

Manchester City and Premier League legend Yaya Toure compares himself to Declan Rice after the midfielder s impressive displays for Arsenal.

Toure believes Rice is a similar player to him due to his physicality and commitment to play in a busy schedule. Toure made 316 appearances in all competitions for the blue side of Manchester bagging 80 goals and 47 assists in an impressive career.

The former Man City star said: Declan Rice reminds me of myself because I think he has the capacity, the ability, the physical ability as well. To do it week in week out is difficult and very demanding but he can do it.

Today s game is very demanding. When you see the schedule of the players from international to the leagues, it’s too many games but I think he can do it.
