Declan Rice admits he has been \u2018surprised\u2019 by Jorginho\u2019s quality in Arsenal\u2019s training sessions and says the former Chelsea midfielder is an \u2018outstanding trainer\u2019.<\/p>\n
Arsenal news, exclusives and analysis<\/p>\n
Rice completed his \u00a3105 million move to the Gunners in the summer and has settled quickly into the centre of Mikel Arteta\u2019s midfield.<\/p>\n
Jorginho, meanwhile, joined Arsenal in a \u00a312m deal from Chelsea in the January transfer window.<\/p>\n
Rice is yet to start alongside Jorginho in Arsenal\u2019s midfield this season but says he is keen to learn from the Italy international.<\/p>\n
\u2018The one who has surprised me so much, not surprised me because I knew he was such a good player anyway, but playing with him every day in training, seeing how he is because he\u2019s not the biggest, is Jorginho,\u2019 Rice told Channel 4.<\/p>\n

\u2018His brain, the way it works as a holding midfielder, I\u2019ve just been trying to pick up little things off him.<\/p>\n
\u2018He\u2019s always in position, always knows when to pass, always creates time for himself. He\u2019s an outstanding trainer and I\u2019ve been trying to take little bits from his game as well.<\/p>\n
\u2018I\u2019m trying to learn from everyone, to be honest. I\u2019m only 24, I\u2019ve got all the abilities myself, but there are still things to add to get to the top, and that\u2019s what I want to do.<\/p>\n
\u2018The way we want to play out from the back and how pivotal my position is in that, always being there to be an out-ball, to be a free man, I\u2019m really enjoying it.<\/p>\n
\u2018We never really used to do that in our time at West Ham so it\u2019s kind of going out of your comfort zone a bit, also if I\u2019m doing it more you build so much confidence, which is really good and that is what I want.\u2019<\/p>\n
