Harry Kane has revealed that a member of Mikel Arteta’s squad at Arsenal is exceptional at golf.

The Gunners have a number of multi-talented individuals in their ranks, with Bukayo Saka regularly cited as being good at almost everything.

While Arteta would no doubt like his players to place their full focus on football, many indulge in golf as a side hobby, with some seemingly even taking it relatively seriously.

Kane has highlighted one of these who he thinks is an outstanding golfer.

Harry Kane names Declan Rice as one of the best golfers he’s seen

Shortly after signing for Arsenal, Christian Norgaard posted a picture of himself and Declan Rice on a golf course together in Singapore.

The two midfielders are evidently fans of the sport and like to play it when they’re not training or engaged in other football-related activities.

Speaking on his own TikTok, England captain and striker Harry Kane named his Ryder Cup team based on the golfing skills of his teammates, past and present.

Naming the likes of James Maddison, Harry Maguire and Jordan Pickford, the number nine also selected Rice.

Given Rice’s ability from dead-ball situations in football, it’s no shock that he’s developed an ability to hit a still ball with a golf club to a high level.

Declan Rice needs to step up his game for Arsenal this season

Rice was exceptional for the bulk of last season for Arsenal, but has endured a slightly below-par start to the new campaign.

The 26-year-old is still working his way back up to full fitness following the summer, while he’s also adapting to having a new midfield partner deployed next to him in Martin Zubimendi.

Fans were frustrated by Rice’s performance against City, feeling that his technical level wasn’t up to the standards expected of him.

He’s operating in a slightly deeper role than he’s been used to, rotating with Zubimendi in the single pivot and rarely making late runs into the box in the manner he was last term.

This role will take some getting used to, although he’s been tasked with adapting year-on-year throughout his career, and has always risen to the challenge.
