Graeme Souness raises £100m concern over Declan Rice after new Arsenal bid rejected

Graeme Souness has raised concerns over Liverpool-linked Declan Rice, amid reports Arsenal have seen a second offer for the England midfielder rejected by West Ham United.

Speculation over Rice, 24, and his future is at fever pitch with the Gunners now thought to be front and centre in the queue for his signature. However, after captaining the Hammers to the Europa Conference League trophy, the player has plenty more interest amid suggestions he will cost £100m.

Souness, 70, knows a thing or two about what it takes to shine in the engine room and the Liverpool hero admits Rice might have shortfalls when it comes to his passing. Even so, the Scot does rate the 43-cap international as he prepares to embark on a new adventure.
