Ian Wright has raved about Arsenal target and West Ham United midfielder Declan Rice on PremierLeague.com.
The former Arsenal and West Ham striker believes that England international midfielder Rice is world class.
Wright made the comments about Rice, who can also play as a defender, ahead of the Premier League game between West Ham and Chelsea at the weekend.
Arsenal have been linked with a move for the 24-year-old in the summer transfer window.
According to The Daily Mail, Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal are determined to sign Rice from London and Premier League rivals West Ham in the summer of 2023 and could prioritise him over fellow midfielder Moises Caicedo of Brighton and Hove Albion.
TalkSPORT journalist and presenter Jim White has said that West Ham want as much as £120 million plus add-ons for the midfielder in the summer of 2023.
White has said on talkSPORT that Manchester United had a bid of £100 million for the England international midfielder turned down in the summer of 2023.
The former Sky Sports presenter has claimed that Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United all want to sign the 24-year-old in the summer of 2023.
Arsenal target Declan Rice described world class
Wright said, as transcribed by TBR: “I like Declan Rice, I’d go as far as saying he’s a world-class player with the games he’s played, he’s played over 200 matches. He has done the number six role, but he can also do the number eight role as well.”
