Arsenal has identified West Ham United’s Declan Rice as their primary transfer target for the upcoming season as they seek to strengthen their squad in the next transfer window.
Arsenal has shown significant progress in the current campaign, establishing themselves as one of the top teams in the league. The team’s performances have highlighted the managerial abilities of Mikel Arteta, and the club is eager to provide him with the right players to further improve their squad.
Declan Rice is seen as a key target for Arsenal, and they aim to make him their marquee signing once the current season concludes. However, they face stiff competition from other clubs, including Chelsea and Real Madrid.
Football London has been closely monitoring the developments surrounding Rice’s career in recent weeks, and while it is not yet a done deal, the report suggests that Rice has rejected offers from Chelsea and Madrid. Furthermore, he has allegedly given his word to Arsenal, indicating a strong inclination towards joining the Gunners.
It is worth noting that transfer negotiations can be complex, and until official announcements are made, there is always a degree of uncertainty. However, the indications suggest that Arsenal is strongly pursuing Rice’s signature and is confident in their chances of securing the midfielder’s services.
Just Arsenal Opinion
Rice is one of the coveted players in the Premier League now and adding him to our squad will be a no-brainer.
However, we must work hard and not allow reports that he has chosen to join us to make us complacent.
The midfielder wants to finish the season with West Ham before deciding on his future and we hope he chooses us.

I don’t rate this guy a bit. I have watched westham games severally and I don’t see any special thing he does.
I don’t think he can really improve us plus his price tag is way too high.
A smart club will invest that money on two quality players
Looks like he wants to come but means nothing
Harry Kane decided he would be a Man City player two years back
Problem we have is that whil e RICE can refus eto go to any particular club , meaning possibly United, h e ha slimite dpower IF hew wishe sto move from West Ham THIS summer, as seems to berth case, then he doe not hold all th cards but only someof them. IF Unite want himbadly, wiloffer th fullfee West Ham ask, pay hs his desired wages AND ARE as we know in the CL , then if he refuses his options arelimited , asumingh Unite doutbid us He would then, to get his own clun have to wait at West Ham ANOTHER YEAR ,UNTILHE BECOMES A FREE AGENT AND THEN HOLDS ALL THE CARDS.
If ,he stands his ground and tells West Ham “sell me to Arsenal ONLY, this summer OR ELSE I will run my contract down another year”, then it becomes a game of poker, bluff and double bluff.
And I notice our club is VERY POOR at playing poker. We will all find out ,one way or another, ere long.
I am hoping but still doubtful, TBH!
Been hacked Jon?
Never seen so many shortcuts in your write ups.
Always enjoy reading your stuff.
We haven’t learnt our lessons yet. Didn’t Murdryk do enough last December to show us he wanted to come to us, and January came with the blowing west of London?
Rice turning down RM,ok then!!😂
If we do offer close to 1 hundred mil it will not be paid up all at once, we’d prob try to stretch it over three seasons offering a third of it upfront. Similarly, if we bid for Caicedo, 30m in three separate slots. We’re bidding for PL experience this time around, which is the most expensive in Europe
