Gabby Agbonlahor has backed Arsenal’s pursuit of Declan Rice.
He tells Football Insider: “I think Rice would a better option than Caicedo.
“He’d add more steel into that squad. He could be Arsenal’s Rodri.
“Jorginho isn’t long-term, so I think Rice would be a great, mega-money signing.
“It would be a statement to every other club in world football. They can put a marker down, letting everyone know that they can get the big players, letting everyone know that they are back.”
