Declan Rice is putting his current struggles at Arsenal behind him as he walked round a golf course with Rory McIlroy in Dubai.
The 24-year-old England international has impressed at the Emirates following a summer transfer from West Ham.
Currently, the Gunners are in a warm weather training camp in Dubai during their winter break.
After a disappointing December month in the Premier League, Arsenal faced even more adversity after they were knocked out of the FA Cup.
But, it appears that damaging defeat has not got the best of Rice who was pictured with Northern Irish golfing superstar McIlroy.
The four-time major champion has been stepping up his preparations as he gets set to play his season opener.
Recently, McIlroy - a Man United fan - took the time to speak on Gary Neville's The Overlap podcast.
There, he told some funny stories about how Roy Keane refused to sign an autograph for him when he was younger.
Rice himself is an avid golfer and has been spotted supporting West Ham supporter Billy Horschel at the BMW PGA Championship in the past.
Arsenal return to action on Saturday January 20 against Crystal Palace at home for the early 12.30 kick-off.
