“He’s very interested in joining Arsenal”, £80m rated player can’t wait to join Arsenal in the summer transfer window

Arsenal Newsnow: Arsenal have been linked to a transfer for Declan Rice, a midfielder for West Ham United. The 24-year-old has emerged as one of the league’s top defensive midfielders and has been instrumental to the Hammers’ success in recent seasons.

It comes as no surprise that the best clubs in the Premier League want to sign him at the conclusion of the season. The chance to play for Arsenal is likely to appeal to Rice since he wants to play for a team in the Champions League.

The English international is keen on joining Arsenal at the conclusion of the season, journalist Dean Jones has disclosed to GiveMeSport. In the next months, it will be interesting to see whether the Gunners and West Ham can settle on a fair transfer cost.

Arsenal Newsnow: Is Declan Rice joining Arsenal?

Jones said: “He’s very interested in joining Arsenal. Chats with the manager and the captain are good PR for him, and it’s good for him to start relationship building ahead of the talks that will happen in the summer.”

West Ham may try to extract a higher price for the England international at the season’s finish, according to rumours. Despite this, suitors are likely to pay over the odds for him since he still has just over a year remaining on his current deal with the Hammers.

The fact that the midfielder wants to leave West Ham surely helps Arsenal’s bargaining stance. The Gunners should sign Rice because he would be a great backup for Thomas Partey. He knows the Premier League well and would be able to contribute right away for the North London team.

The Gunners will compete in the Champions League next season with the intention of making a deep postseason run. The addition of a player like Rice can only help their chances of winning a championship.
