Declan Rice is the team captain at West Ham and of course, West Ham will set a high price for any club interested in recruiting Declan Rice. Also, even though Arsenal's midfield is currently filled with players who have good quality, that doesn't mean Arsenal are satisfied with the potential of the players they have. Because of course, with the inclusion of Declan Rice in their squad, it will be easier for Arteta to rotate players and this also makes the main players and reserves both have good quality.
Let's hope that will come true. Partey and xhaka were leaving from the club. Rice has become the main option for arteta to fill the position that filled by xhaka in the past. That's why arsenal is having very big intention to sign rice as a new player.
Even though arsenal must have paid non sense amounts of money for him. Arsenal and rice have been trending in twitter with so many people feel unbelievable with this transfer.
Even some fans were shocked after seeing their favorite teams were buying rice which a very high price. It was also breaking arsenal's record in the transfer market.
Arsenal never did this before. Nicolas pepe become the second highest transfer that has ever done by arsenal after rice.
