Arsenal manager, Mikel Arteta, has explained why he made the
club break their transfer record to sign Declan Rice from West Ham.
Arteta hailed the 24-year-old as a “tremendous” player as
the Gunners finally sealed his £105 million transfer.
Rice signed a long-term deal at the Emirates, having been
earmarked as the club’s No.1 summer target in January by Arteta.
Arteta, speaking after Rice’s arrival, said: “Declan is
bringing undoubted quality to the club and he is an exceptional talent who has
the potential to be very successful here.
“Declan has great experience in the Premier League at only
24 years old. He has captained a very good West Ham team and as we all saw, he
recently lifted a European trophy. The responsibility and role he has taken on
has been very impressive and we are really excited that he is joining us.”
