West Ham are currently 17th in the table and only goal difference keeps them out of the relegation zone after a disappointing start to the season. Clearly, what the sledgehammer showed was not commensurate with Declan Rice ‘s talent .
Therefore, Rice felt dissatisfied. The Guardian reports Declan Rice is frustrated with what’s going on. Accordingly, the England international “almost certainly will leave this summer”. Notably, Arsenal is said to be Rice’s priority destination.
Rice is a deal worth investing in for Arsenal.
Rice has a reason to choose Arsenal. This team is coming back strong and will most likely win the Premier League. Coach Mikel Arteta’s project brings great appeal and helps Rice unleash her talent at the highest level .
Arsenal have been keeping an eye on Rice for some time. According to journalist Fabrizio Romano, the Emirates Stadium team is determined to recruit Rice. And the English midfielder can be the solution to help the Gunners midfield become stronger than ever.
More than simply winning the ball, the 24-year-old can hold the ball and dribble skillfully in the middle of the field, while making smooth passes from left to right.
What Rice shows at West Ham is similar to Jorginho when he played at Chelsea, Rodri and Fernandinho did for Man City or the effectiveness Fabinho brought to Liverpool. They control the ball, control the game and bring composure in key positions in the middle of the pitch.
Coach Mikel Arteta has no shortage of options in midfield, but a young and fighting player like Rice is just what Arsenal still need. Notably, Thomas Partey was injured many times and pushed Arsenal into a difficult position.
Rice could provide a permanent solution to Arsenal’s midfield.
Former Aston Villa striker Gabriel Agbonlahor confirmed: “I think Rice would be a better choice than Moises Caicedo. He will add more steel to that squad. He could be Arsenal’s Rodri.
orginho is not at the Emirates for long, so I think Rice would be a great signing, even though he will cost Arsenal huge amounts of money.”
Rice is an expensive option, more than £100m, but the midfielder’s arrival could be the last piece of the puzzle for Arsenal. With Rice identified as the top target, the Gunners are probably ready for the Champions League front.
Arsenal is said to want to pay £80 million to own Rice, in the context of midfielders Thomas Partey, Granit Xhaka, Jorginho no longer young. Rice is only 24 years old, which could be a permanent solution at Emirates.
Still quite young, but Rice soon established himself as one of the best central midfielders in the Premier League. This summer is a good opportunity for Arsenal to question the recruitment of Rice.
