MistaT the few times he's been able to drift over there, I think his combination play is much more natural. He's always so disconnected from the left winger, but doesn't seem like that on the right.
Behind Odegaard and Nwaneri/Saka, I think he'd have more of a multiplier effect. Alleviate some of their defensive responsibilities while being able to more naturally use his (excellent) right foot to hit cross-field balls, whip in in-swinging crosses, play people in down the line, etc.
To me, he's always only been holding the left together, and I think its to both his and the team's ultimate detriment. One of the reasons I'm excited by Zubimendi is that I think he'll unleash Rice on the right.
