Arsenal FC have now confirmed the signing of Declan Rice from West Ham following a live YouTube video and a subsequent announcement on their social media platforms.
Declan Rice’s departure from West Ham United had earlier been confirmed by reputable football journalists, with West Ham United also confirming his departure in the early hours of the day. The talented player has now joined Arsenal in a groundbreaking £105 million transfer, pending the official unveiling.
In addition to this exciting acquisition, Arsenal recently unveiled Jurrien Timber as their latest signing. The highly-rated player, who joins from Ajax, commanded a fee of £38.3 million.
With these transfers settled, Mikel Arteta’s focus now shifts to getting the team ready for the new season. The pursuit of the West Ham captain has been ongoing throughout the summer, causing some frustration for Hammers manager David Moyes.
On the departure front, it appears that Thomas Partey is contemplating a lucrative move to Saudi Arabia, while Besiktas has made a bid for defender Rob Holding, which Arsenal has declined.
