Ban him from singing ‘Rice Rice Baby’ – Arsenal’s Ramsdale

The arrival of England international Declan Rice at Arsenal from West Ham United for a record-breaking fee of £105 million has brought excitement and camaraderie to the Gunners’ squad. However, Arsenal goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale has a cheeky request for his new teammate – to ban him from singing “Rice Rice Baby” by Weird Al Yankovic during initiation ceremonies.

Initiation rituals are a common tradition in football clubs, where new players are asked to showcase their talent or perform entertaining acts for their teammates. In the case of Declan Rice, his signature song “Rice Rice Baby” has been a go-to choice during such events, making Ramsdale suggest that it should be temporarily banned.

In an interview with TNT, Ramsdale playfully explained his reasoning, stating that banning Rice from singing his favored song would be a fun way to challenge him to explore other options. The Arsenal goalkeeper predicts that Rice’s comfort with the song could lead to entertaining moments during team gatherings, and he’s keen to see what other surprises the talented midfielder might have up his sleeve.

Football initiation nights often bring a sense of camaraderie among players and staff, and Rice’s cheerful personality is expected to fit right in with the Arsenal squad’s dynamics. Ramsdale hinted that the banter and camaraderie among teammates, along with the involvement of the coaching staff, make these initiation rituals a great laugh for everyone involved.

As Arsenal prepares for their upcoming season, the addition of Declan Rice to their ranks adds depth and quality to their squad. While his signing may have set a new club record in terms of transfer fee, the atmosphere at the Emirates Stadium is lively and playful, with Ramsdale’s playful ban request setting the tone for an enjoyable time ahead. As fans eagerly await the start of the season, the Arsenal players’ camaraderie and light-hearted interactions offer a glimpse of the positive atmosphere brewing within the club.
