Arsenal fans believe they have figured out how the club are going to announce the signings of Declan Rice and Jurrien Timber, as some are expecting a double confirmation. The Gunners have been extremely busy to begin the transfer window, having already landed Kai Havertz from Chelsea and he is set to be joined by Rice and Timber as part of a £200million spending spree.
Aside from incoming transfers, Arsenal have been hard at work tying their stars down to new long-term contracts. Reiss Nelson proved to be a valuable squad player last season and was rewarded a new four-year deal with the option of an additional 12 months. Then a day later it was confirmed that William Saliba had committed his future to the club with a new contract, ending speculation that he may depart the Emirates.

After Nelson passed the video to Saliba, @Markafc87 on Twitter wrote: “Could of passed it onto timber then hand a bowl of rice to…” Coupled with an eyes emoji, while @atulvechem tweeted: “We might get that Rice-Timber double announcement after all.”
Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta hinted that the Havertz deal was done in an interview with Spanish outlet Marca, but refused to answer any questions regarding Rice at the time. Though the Gunners will be pressing on with further transfers after tying up Rice and Timber deals, as they could be joined by another midfielder.
