West Ham star chatting to people about joining Arsenal

Journalist Adrian Clarke claims Declan Rice has reportedly been chatting to people with connections to Arsenal about joining them in summer.

Arsenal are expected to pursue combative midfielder when next transfer window opens and according to reports Declan Rice would be happy to join Arteta’s team from next season.

“I can’t reveal my source, but I do know that Declan Rice has been sounding out people connected with Arsenal in regards to, ‘What’s it like there? What’s it really like?’, so that sounds like a positive,” he told Handbrake Off.

For a number of years, Rice has been among the best midfielders in the top division. And given that West Ham is currently in the bottom half of the Premier League, it is likely that Rice will look to leave in the offseason.
