Arsenal have been handed a major transfer boost after midfielder Declan Rice reportedly told close friends that he has played his last Premier League game for West Ham.
That’s according to a recent report from Football Insider, who claims the England international is set to leave the London Stadium after the Hammers’ upcoming Europa Conference League final against Fiorentina on 7 June.
Enjoying a hugely successful decade with the Hammers, Rice, 24, finally looks set to bid farewell to the team he joined when he was just a young boy.
Ahead of his contract expiring next summer, the 24-year-old is wanted by several top sides with the proposed transfer’s frontrunners believed to be Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal (Daily Star).
And according to Football Insider, Rice has already informed friends that he won’t represent David Moyes’ side in the Premier League again.
Obviously, a deal to join Arsenal has yet to be confirmed, but with the midfielder clearly busy preparing for a new challenge and the Gunners able to offer him the chance to remain in London, fans will be expecting the saga to gather more pace once the Conference League’s final has been played next month.
And who is not aware of this??? Just another non updated “news”.
I like that guy Rice arsenal next season is going to be surpeb
Interesting the way one site makes up a story, then another presents it as gospel. I doubt Dec has said any such thing – not the kind of player, or person, that he is. So, let’s start another rumour – Dec has told close friends that Arteta couldn’t manage a p. up in a brewery and he’s not going to join any team that obviously lacks bottle. In fact, he also told the same close friends, he’d rather eat his own s. than go anywhere near the Emirates. Now print that, because it’s just as valid as the nonsense you already come out with.
In all fairness don’t want him at Arsenal and definitely not mount
Exactly
His contract is NOT up next summer – when are people going to stop saying this, we have a one year option on him, so in effect 2 years left
Rice wants to win trophies , so he shouldn’t go to Arsenal then . He won’t want to have a career like Kane with Spurs and win nothing . If Man City pitch an offer , he should jump on that for guaranteed success or perhaps Bayern .
Ain’t that the truth !
How are u people sure he said that.Disgusting who ever wrote this article is very stupid.You guys disrespect clubs so much.FOOLISH PEOPLE.The annoying thing is that Rice is not evening joining a good club (arsenal)and everyone is making noise.Maybe rice may even go to another club and flop. Please let us hear word. AM a chelsea fan tho.
You people that write this article are bunch of foolish idiotic vagabonds. You guys just make up a story and publish it in the internet to make your money.LIARS when did RICE ever said that. I swear you guys are foolish people for publishing this thing on the internet. Well I blame west ham for not having a clear identity and ambition Because if they did the disrespect would not have been much like this I blame west ham for all this and Rice for being so disrespectful to the club by saying he wants to play UCL in the public.
