Arsenal-bound Declan Rice shares same feelings as Martin Odegaard ahead of £105m move

Arsenal fans are certainly excited about the future under Mikel Arteta following a brilliant and aggressive start to the summer transfer window. The club are on the brink of signing Declan Rice and Jurrien Timber, following Kai Havertz's arrival, taking their spending to over £200m.

It's the imminent arrival of England midfielder Rice from West Ham that is getting everyone talking, notably down to the transfer fee but more importantly the type of player Arsenal will have at their disposal. Not only does he have everything in his locker, but he's also a true leader who can rally the troops when the going gets tough.

Murphy yold FIVE UK: “I saw Dec on Sunday. We were chatting and he was buzzing, he couldn’t wait to get to Arsenal. He said [Mikel] Arteta was magic when he met him.”
