Rice has been very open about the fact he supported Chelsea as a youngster, and he even spent time in their academy.
He was very close with a number of Chelsea’s players during his time at West Ham, including Mason Mount, but now, he’s playing for one of the Blues’ biggest rivals, Arsenal.
As an Arsenal player, Rice ought to be discouraged from speaking highly of Chelsea, but speaking to Amazon on TikTok, Rice has now named a Chelsea legend as his favourite player of all-time.
Indeed, Rice says that his favourite player ever is John Terry, the legendary Chelsea captain who won it all with the Blues.

John Terry loves Declan Rice
Declan Rice says that Terry is his favourite player ever, and Terry is also a huge fan of Rice.
Indeed, Terry has always been a serious champion of the England international.
A few years ago, Terry claimed that Rice was the best player in the world in his position, while he’s also sent supportive messages to Rice in the past on Instagram.
Terry and Rice briefly crossed paths at Chelsea when Rice was a very young player, but it would appear that these two have a serious amount of respect and admiration for one another.
Terry isn’t the biggest Arsenal fan in the world, but he clearly does have a soft spot for Rice as a player.
