David Seaman Fires Back at Jamie Carragher Over Arsenal Star Comments

David Seaman defends Declan Rice after Jamie Carragher’s comments questioning the midfielder’s future at Arsenal.

Former Arsenal goalkeeper David Seaman has hit back at Jamie Carragher over comments the ex-Liverpool defender made about Arsenal midfielder Declan Rice, as Seaman defends Rice against speculation regarding his future at the club. Carragher suggested that Rice might start questioning his future at Arsenal if the club fails to win major trophies next season.

Seaman, who spent over a decade at Arsenal, was stunned by Carragher’s remarks and dismissed the idea that Rice would be looking for an exit anytime soon. Speaking on his Seaman Says podcast, he expressed disbelief at Carragher’s prediction, saying, _“Wow. So we’ve not even finished this season and he’s talking about [Arsenal] not doing anything next season… and then someone that might leave in the next season! Let’s get Uri Geller on and ask him!”.

Rice, who joined Arsenal in a club-record £100 million deal in 2023, has quickly become a fan favorite. Despite Arsenal’s struggles to secure silverware, Seaman remains confident that Rice will be a key figure in the club’s long-term future.

Rice has previously won the Europa Conference League with West Ham, but he has yet to win a major trophy with Arsenal, aside from the Community Shield. However, Seaman remains confident that the England international is committed to the club’s long-term future and dismissed any notion that Rice might be looking elsewhere.

Carragher’s comments came after Arsenal’s 2-2 draw against Liverpool, where he speculated that doubts might creep into Rice’s mind if Arsenal fails to win trophies again next season. However, Seaman was quick to shut down such speculation, insisting that Rice is fully committed to the club and its ambitions.

Seaman’s response highlights the ongoing debate about Arsenal’s ability to compete at the highest level and retain their top talents. With Rice proving to be a crucial figure in Mikel Arteta’s squad, Arsenal fans will be hoping that next season brings the success needed to silence any lingering doubts.
