Clubs have spent big this summer and a number of new signings impressed in the opening round of games
By Ben McAleer for WhoScored
Arsenal’s club-record signing made his league debut at the Emirates in Saturday’s delayed kick-off. Mikel Arteta’s side made things difficult for themselves towards the end of their 2-1 win over Nottingham Forest, but Declan Rice put in a solid shift in the middle of the park, making four tackles and an interception. Rice also picked out his teammates with ease, returning a 92.3% pass success rate from 91 attempted passes. He won the ball and recycled possession well throughout.
