Emmanuel Petit believes that Declan Rice should turn down a move to Chelsea in favour of a switch to Arsenal.
The 23-year-old has been linked with a move away from West Ham in the January transfer window but may have to wait until the summer to force a way out of the London Stadium. David Moyes' side currently sit in 17th in the Premier League, level on points with third bottom Everton and will need Rice to keep them in the division.
But Rice, who has been capped 39 times for England, has previously stated his ambitions to be competing in the Champions League and would like emulate his national teammates in the future. Rice has just under 18 months left on his current deal at the Hammers and could be allowed to leave at the end of the season for a cut-price.
