The Gunners could certainly use someone like Declan Rice on their side.
Declan Rice is Arsenal’s priority ahead of the new season 2023/24. Arsenal have been linked with a move for the West Ham United midfielder for the summer.
The England international is expected to leave West Ham at the end of the season and he wants to play for a club in the Champions league.
The Gunners are at the top of the league table right now and Champions League qualification seems like a formality.
Rice has established himself as one of the best defensive midfielders in the league and he deserves to play at a high level.
The Gunners could certainly use someone like him on their side and the 24-year-old midfielder would be a superb acquisition for Mikel Arteta’s midfield.
Journalist Dean Jones has now revealed that the Gunners are willing to break their transfer record in order to sign the West Ham midfielder.
Jones said to GiveMeSport: “I think Arsenal are definitely willing to break their own transfer record to sign Declan Rice, but I’m not sure they’re going to go above and beyond £100m and break the British record. “I think West Ham will be hopeful that that happens. They’re hopeful that they can get £110m for Rice. I can understand why they would set their stall out at that level. I’m just not 100% sure that it’s realistic.”
Arsenal are undoubtedly keen on signing the England international but they might not be willing to pay over the odds for him.
