Graham Souness has doubled down on his criticism of Declan Rice following the midfielder's move to Arsenal.
The former Liverpool man previously stated that Rice did not score enough goals, despite being a defensive midfielder.
Speaking to talkSPORT, Souness reiterated his criticisms and believes that he is right to demand more from the England star.
'The only criticism I had of Declan, was that he did not get enough goals, and I am still standing by that' Souness said.
'Just because you're a defensive midfield player does not mean you can't chip in with goals.
The pundit, who is now working for talkSPORT, continued to praise Rice a she states that he will imrpove Arsenal, before continuing to explain his point further.
'He has to chip in with more,' he continued. 'Arsenal finished second last year, and he will undoubtably improve them.
'Can they make that jump from second to first because of Declan? Possibly, but needs to chip in with more goals.
'For the defensive midfielder he is, he has a defensive head, he sees the danger, deals with it, he is extremely athletic, and goes up and down the park.
'I just want him to be coming on to balls in and around the box, he is attacking, let him go.'
Souness finalised by setting a challenge for Rice at Arsenal, believing that he has it in him to impact the play further up the pitch.
'There is no reason he can't get double figures every year playing for that Arsenal team.'
