Arsenal fans have spotted what Declan Rice did in the team huddle before the season opener against Nottingham Forest.

The game at the Emirates was delayed until 1pm because of issues with Arsenal's new electronic ticket system leaving thousands of fans stranded outside.

But all supporters were then able to gain access to the ground to see the Gunners in action. The three new signings, Declan Rice, Kai Havertz and Jurrien Timber, all made their Premier League debuts for Arsenal after helping Mikel Arteta's side win the Community Shield on penalties against Manchester City last week.

Former West Ham captain Declan Rice has been brought in for a British-record £105 million fee and Arsenal fans are already loving everything about him.

Rice further endeared himself to the Gooners pre-match when TNT Sports cameras pictured him singing the 'North London forever' anthem as it played over the tannoy while in a huddle with his teammates.

Louis Dunford, a singer from the area, has seen the chorus of his track 'The Angel' adapted into the chant and Rice is clearly a big fan.

Needless to say, fans absolutely lapped it up.

One said: "Declan Rice singing along to North London Forever. Welcome to The Arsenal!"

A second wrote: "Genuinely what a moment for him, stepping outside in front of the most historic club in England's most historic City. He's a London boy. This is the stuff dreams are made out of."

A third added: "I have tears rolling down my cheeks."

A fourth opined: "Declan Rice just gets it man."

A fifth weighed in: "Declan Rice singing along to North London Forever under his breath in the team huddle. HE GETS IT ALREADY, THE ARSENAL."

Arsenal found themselves 2-0 up at half-time courtesy of goals from Eddie Nketiah and Bukayo Saka, the latter smashing in a stunning rocket past former teammate Matt Turner.
