And the 24-year-old Hammers skipper is believed to be excited at the prospect of joining the Gunners.

Losing the 41-capped England international this summer will obviously be a bitter pill to swallow for the West Ham fans. However, it feels like most of us have made peace with the fact that he’ll be leaving at the end of the season.

And Arsenal seem to be the club that Rice will most likely join when he eventually leaves the London Stadium…

Declan Rice goes on Instagram following spree of numerous Arsenal players

We all know that Gunners boss Mikel Arteta is desperate to bring Rice to the Emirates this summer. And that’s really not surprising is it – he’s one of the very best central midfielders in world football after all.

Much will depend on whether or not Arsenal are prepared to pay West Ham what the owners are demanding for Dec’s signature.

However, it must be said that the general consensus is that the 24-year-old could be swapping East London for North London this summer.

Declan Rice has begun following numerous Arsenal players on Instagram:

Now, Dec following the likes of Bukayo Saka and Aaron Ramsdale is perfectly understandable – they’re England teammates after all.

However, the timing is certainly interesting.

Listen, I obviously hope that the midfielder remains at the London Stadium for at least one more season. I’m a realist though, and I believe it’s pretty obvious that he’ll be joining a major club this summer.

Seeing Rice play in Arsenal shirt will obviously hurt, but the Hammers star leaving is something we’re just going to have to accept.

If Dec does leave the club this summer, I will be wishing him nothing but the best of luck with his future endeavours.
