Gunners coach has backed Mikel Arteta to bring £82k-a-week star to Arsenal
Jack Wilshere has backed ARSENAL to complete the signing of Declan Rice this summer, claiming that he could be a perfect fit for the Gunners
Over the past few seasons – Rice has developed into one of the best holding midfielders in the Premier League and a man that is heavily tipped to join one of the big clubs at the end of the season.
Manchester City, Chelsea and Manchester United have all been linked – but so have Arsenal after their stunning season in which fans will see the club regain Champions League football and possible a League title.
Now Wilshere, who now manages Arsenal’s Under-18s, believes the midfielder can reach new heights playing under Mikel Arteta in north London.
‘He’s a midfielder who can do anything,’ Wilshere told the PA news agency.
‘Anyone who supports any club would want Dec to join.
‘If I’m talking from a selfish point of view, in north London, I think he would be very good under Mikel’s watch.
‘Mikel would develop him, bring him on even more and he would be massive for the team as well. I have had conversations with Dec and told him what he is doing in unbelievable, he is captain of a big Premier League club and is always learning.
‘You have to be respectful to West Ham, that is his club, but his future is in his hands and it’s very exciting for him because he’s got everything with him now and he’s picking up more and more, he’s growing into this man who could play anywhere.
‘I’m looking forward to wherever he goes. I hope it is ARSENAL, it would be a massive signing and a perfect fit.’
West Ham are resigned to losing their captain at the end of the season but David Moyes has warned any interested clubs must be prepared to break the British transfer record –
