Arsenal legend Ray Parlour has heaped praise on West Ham United captain Declan Rice ahead of his imminent transfer to Mikel Arteta's side.
The north London outfit saw bids of £80million and £90million for Rice rejected by the Hammers, who were holding out for a nine-figure fee for their skipper. Eventually, the two sides agreed a fee in principle after the Gunners lodged a £105million bid last week, with Manchester City pulling out of the race to sign the 24-year-old as a result.
A full agreement has since been made and some reports have suggested that the England international will undergo his medical at Arsenal on Friday ahead of his official unveiling. Now, during an exclusive interview with football.london, in partnership with Genting Casino, Parlour has hailed Rice - backing the Gunners' soon-to-be record signing to fit seamlessly into Arteta's system.
