Graeme Souness pinpoints Declan Rice's main weakness amid Arsenal and Man City transfer battle

Liverpool legend Graeme Souness has criticised Declan Rice's all-around game as the West Ham United captain continues to be linked with a move to Arsenal.

In the last fortnight, the Gunners have seen two bids for Rice rejected by the Hammers, football.london understands. The north London outfit had a first bid of £80million plus at least £10million in add-ons rejected last week for the England international before another offer, which remained under West Ham's £100million asking price, was turned down on Tuesday.

With the 24-year-old having completed England duty, Arsenal are expected to push ahead in finding an agreement and a third bid is expected to follow in the near future. But the 24-year-old's ability in the final third could be a worry, according to Reds icon Souness.
