Liverpool hero Stan Collymore has claimed that West Ham United captain Declan Rice joining Arsenal doesn't guarantee them to be Premier League title contenders.
Despite few predicting them to be in the title hunt, Mikel Arteta's side led the league for the majority of the 2022/23 campaign. The north London outfit enjoyed a near-perfect first half of the season, accumulating 50 points from their first 19 league fixtures.
However, they struggled in the final few months, finishing on 84 points - five behind eventual champions Manchester City. The task this summer will be to close the gap on City, something that they can do by nailing their recruitment during the transfer window.
