Supporters of Declan Rice hope that the West Ham United player will sign for Arsenal this summer
Supporters of Declan Rice hope that the West Ham United player will sign for Arsenal this summer. Manchester United, though, might be a formidable opponent in any competition for his services.
Dean Jones said that the consensus at Rice is that Arsenal is the greatest possible landing spot. His supporters are certain that Mikel Arteta will provide the 24-year-old with the opening he needs to finally break through. Nevertheless, the midfielder has not made up his mind on what to do next.
The fact that a transfer to Arsenal would enable Rice to remain in London is a positive factor in his consideration of a move there. He likes Gunners manager Arteta and would rather remain in the capital city. The Spaniard’s rapid rise to title challenger has pleased Rice.
Arsenal star Jack Wilshere is attempting to recruit Rice, who is intrigued by the opportunity to work with Arteta. If Rice decides to leave London, he would welcome the opportunity to play for Manchester United. Both their history and Erik ten Hag’s early leadership are admired by him.
Rice is weighing a move to Arsenal from West Ham, but Manchester United is set to give him a higher wage to convince him to stay there. The 39-time England starter is not making his selection based on the cash. Should negotiations continue, though, the Red Devils would likely be able to gazump any offer made by the Gunners.
West Ham has been unable to persuade Rice to remain at the London Stadium beyond 2024. The Irons have a year-long option to extend his £60k-a-week contract. Hence, the Hammers would want to get £100m for a ‘world-class’ player, as described by Ian Wright.
According to Kaya Kaynak, Rice is ecstatic about the possibility of making a summer move to Arsenal from West Ham. The midfielder is thrilled that the Gunners are interested in signing him and considers Arteta’s praise to be flattering. It seems that Edu will be able to sign the England star.
Even The Times has reported that Arsenal is confident of beating Chelsea to the acquisition of Rice from West Ham. The Blues and Arteta are competing to be the Gunners’ primary target. Yet executives at Emirates Stadium are certain they can secure victory with an £80 million transfer this summer.
