"I think five years ago I would have only dreamed of where I am today. I don't really think about it that much. It's crazy to think that I was sold for £100 million. That's the price tag that's attached to me now. I'm just trying to play football and have fun.

I ended up here because I was myself. And that's not going to change at Arsenal. I'm still going to do the things that got me to Arsenal. I would like to ask that I be evaluated based on my price tag, but not after two or three weeks. I came to Arsenal to be successful and I want this club to be successful," Rice was quoted as saying by ESPN.
