Arsenal see Jack Wilshere as the key to them landing England star Declan Rice over the summer, it has been claimed.
Rice, who captains West Ham, has been linked with a move away from the club at the end of the season. Chelsea and Manchester United have also been mentioned in connection with a swoop, but one of the 24-year-old's former team-mates could yet hold the key.
Wilshere played with Rice at the London Stadium between 2018 and 2020, joining on a free transfer after his release by the Gunners. He is now back in north London as part of his boyhood club's coaching staff, having retired in 2022, and could have a role in convincing his former midfield partner to stay in the capital.
