Declan Rice could be playing his penultimate game for West Ham this Sunday. The Hammers midfielder is being strongly linked with an exit in the summer transfer window and for Arsenal, as football.london have reported since the end of January, he is their top target to sign ahead of the 2023/24 season.
Interest from the Gunners has been questioned on numerous occasions, but in every crucial game during the latter stages of this campaign, Rice has delivered an emphatic answer. West Ham had been locked in a relegation battle for most of the season, but the 24-year-old has inspired his team to several excellent results that significantly lessened their relegation concerns.
In the 2-2 draw against Arsenal, Rice was pivotal in leading the comeback while he also helped prevent Manchester United from scoring in a 1-0 victory which virtually secured safety for David Moyes' side. While the pressure has been on in domestic action, West Ham have also been competing in the Europa Conference League, with Rice as an integral figure.
