Declan Rice received the love of the travelling Arsenal fans after the win over Bournemouth.
The Gunners were nowhere near their best against the Cherries. They were really poor in the first half, with many of Mikel Arteta’s players underperforming.
In the second half, the Premier League leaders looked a lot better, and Rice scored a fantastic brace to help his side win the game.
After the full-time whistle, the away fans serenaded the Arsenal number 41 with a new song.
Name your Arsenal Man of the Match vs Bournemouth but you can’t pick Declan Rice!
Arsenal fans have a brand new song for Declan Rice
Arsenal fans are very creative with their chants and songs for their players.
Gabriel Magalhaes’ ‘King of Brazil’ song is one of the best we’ve heard, while the likes of Gabriel Jesus, Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli and even summer signings Viktor Gyokeres and Piero Hincapie have their own chants.
Rice already had a chant at Arsenal, referencing his price tag.
“We got him half-price, we got him half-price, Declan Rice, we got him half-price,” came into existence a couple of years ago.
Now, the England international has a new one, and we think it is significantly better than his previous chant.
“Declan Rice, uh huh, uh huh, I like it, uh huh, uh huh, Declan Rice, in red and white, I like it, uh huh, uh huh,” sang the Arsenal away fans in the tune of KC & The Sunshine Band’s hit 1975 track That’s The Way (I Like It).
Is Declan Rice’s new song the best Arsenal fan chant? If not, which is?

Rice was over the moon after Arsenal beat Bournemouth on Saturday.
The Englishman was rightly named as the Player of the Match for his two goals, and after receiving his award, he was asked about his new song.
He told Arsenal’s social channels: “I did hear it. The fans were singing it in full voice. I really, really appreciate it.
“When they spend all their hard-earned money to come watch us, and with the New Year as well and a win, so a big thank you to them.
“Let’s keep pushing, and we really, really appreciate it.”
