Declan Rice is really excited at the prospect of joining Arsenal from West Ham United, as his future remains up in the air.

The 24-year-old West Ham captain is being heavily linked with an exit from the London Stadium in the summer transfer window.

The likes of Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United all want to sign Rice in the summer according to a report from The Mirror.

The problem for any potential buyers is that West Ham are said to be demanding at least £120 million for Dec’s services.

Hammers boss David Moyes will obviously want to keep the 24-year-old at the club, but it’s highly unlikely that that will happen.

And it seems as though the midfielder is already eyeing a move to the Emirates in the summer transfer window…

West Ham ace Declan Rice excited by Arsenal move

Arsenal’s chief football writer for Football.London Kaya Kaynak told Give Me Sport that Dec is a huge fan of the current project at Arsenal:

“From what I hear, he is quite happy with that interest. He’s quite excited by the prospect of moving to Arsenal and the prospect of playing in the Champions League, which is something he’s always said. He has been very flattered by the fact that Arsenal are making an effort to sign him and going in this way. I think it’s looking positive for Arsenal.”

Now, I think it’s pretty obvious for us all to see that Declan Rice will no longer be a West Ham player after the end of this season.

The only question that remains is how much will he eventually be sold for.

West Ham have the option to extend Rice’s current deal until the summer of 2025. However, I just can’t see any club playing more than £100 million for Dec.

If Arsenal, or any club for that matter, offer that kind of cash for Rice, then selling him will be a non-brainer for the Hammers.

The 39-capped England international has been a brilliant player for us over the past few years but sadly, his time in East London is clearly coming to an end.

And if Arsenal get their hands on the 24-year-old, they will become even more of a serious outfit than they already are.
