Arsenal are one step closer to signing Declan Rice.
He is an English midfielder. Although he has a strong body of 188 cm, he has delicate movements and good footwork skills. As a center bag, it has good defensive ability and shows considerable influence in the distribution and assembly of the ball. With the progress of the season, his offensive action has improved and he has grown into a "complete" midfielder. Although a young Chelsea player, he made his adult debut at West Ham United. After making his debut in the league in the 2016-17 season at the age of 17, he quickly established his position. After increasing playing time in the 2017-18 season, he established his position as a built-in starter from the 2018-19 season. Show consistent performance. In the 2019-20 season, he had a full-court appearance record in all leagues. He said it was difficult unless he was a goalkeeper. Since the 2018-19 season, he has played more than 30 league games every season. This season, he led the team to score 4 goals and 4 assists in 47 games including the Cup. As he grew into the best midfielder in the league, many clubs showed interest. Originally, Chelsea was the strongest. In the last transfer window, he has formally confirmed his interest in Rice and made several offers.
Arsenal also participated in the signing competition. Arsenal, which aims to win the championship this season, hope to keep this trend. In response, manager Mikel Altta plans to push for a clear strengthening of power and choose Rice as the right candidate. Since Granit Xaka is likely to leave, the recruitment of Rice is more concentrated. Recently, we even had a detailed conversation. British media "Football Transfers" said, "Last week, Arsenal and West Ham discussed the details of Rice’s transfer fee and payment method." Contrary to West Ham’s previous statement, they will not discuss Rice’s future until the end of the season. Arsenal is very active. He even revealed that he was willing to pay the astronomical figures demanded by West Ham. The media said, "Arsenal expressed its intention to pay 80 million pounds (about 131.9 billion won) to sign Rice." Because of the large amount and high risk, it is judged as a necessary player. Chelsea, of course, is still paying attention to Rice’s situation. "Football Transfer" said, "Newcastle are also interested in Rice, and they are prepared to pay 90 million pounds (about 148.3 billion won), which is higher than Arsenal."
