Arsenal hopeful of completing signing of Declan Rice this summer

Arsenal and Chelsea would both prefer to sign Rice over Moises Caicedo.

Arsenal are fully sure about Declan Rice’s arrival at Emirates in the summer. Football London reporter Kaya Kaynak has told GIVEMESPORT, the Gunners are hopeful of completing the signing of West Ham United midfielder Declan Rice this summer.

The West Ham star has been heavily linked with the North London club. The Hammers are struggling this season in Premier League.

Rice has been a key player for West Ham over the last few years, taking over as skipper from club legend Mark Noble. He can also captain England in the future.

Transfer insider Ben Jacobs recently said in his column for CaughtOffside that Arsenal and Chelsea would both prefer to sign Rice over Moises Caicedo.

Discussing Rice’s future, Kaynak has confirmed that multiple clubs are in the race to secure his signature this summer, but Arsenal are hoping to get a deal done.

While talking to GIVEMESPORT, he said: “Obviously there are other teams that are going to be involved. Chelsea and Manchester United have shown interest in the past and there’s plenty of teams that will want a player of the quality of Declan Rice.

“As far as Arsenal are concerned, he’s a target they want to sign in the summer and they’re hoping to be able to get that done.”

The 24-year-old has the highest pass completion percentage in the squad, and his defensive ability on top means he has the potential to be a complete midfielder.
