Written by Arsenal are on the verge of signing Declan Rice. This is after Manchester City backed out of the deal after the Gunners submitted their third bid which met the valuation of money that West Ham United needed.
There are many things that Declan Rice will add to Arsenal. First of all, Declan Rice will add more depth to the squad. He will really strengthen the Gunners side and he will be of great help in both the Premier League and the Champions League. This will give Arsenal the opportunity to compete well with the other clubs.
Declan Rice will also change the midfield of Arsenal a great deal. He had very great statistics last season. Declan Rice made a total of 79 tackles, 63 interceptions, 334 ball recoveries, 1,834 passes completed and 36 shots.
These are very good statistics and he can even do more in an Arsenal shirt because there are good players who can give him all the support that he wants. Declan Rice will also add a lot of experience to the side because he played virtually all the games for West Ham United.
To add on that, Declan Rice was the captain of West Ham United and he even led the team to their first trophy last season. His leadership will be very vital not only in the midfield but also to the whole team.
He will join Martin Odegaard in the leadership roles and the two young players will help Arsenal to move far and also to challenge for all the trophies before them. Declan Rice is a good player and he will be a very good defensive midfielder for Arsenal.
