ARSENAL fans are convinced Declan Rice will join the club in a summer transfer after a clip from the England camp emerged.
Rice, 24, is in the Three Lions squad that met at St George’s Park yesterday ahead of the Euro 2024 qualifiers against Italy and Ukraine.
The West Ham skipper rocked up with a fresh new trim – and Gunners supporters are hoping to see him in a fresh new kit come the new season.
Viewers watching the England arrivals video on YouTube spotted the warm embrace Rice gave Bukayo Saka when he rocked up.
Saka, 21, walked into the room and immediately Rice gave him banter about his recent celebrity phone calls.
Rice shouted: “He’s been on FaceTime with Kim Kardashian bruv, he doesn’t want us anymore.”

The winger laughed and replied: “Do you want me to say hello to you or not?”
Rice then gave him a big smile and a massive hug, telling Saka: “It’s good to see you my friend.”
Luke Shaw then welcomes Saka, too.
But plenty of Arsenal fans clipped the video of the touching moment with the West Ham midfielder and want to see more of the same in 2023-24.

One said: “Saka and Rice bromance already okkk.”
Another joked: “Saka: Welcome to Arsenal, Rice. Rice: Thank you, Saka.”
A third added: “You can tell how much every player loves Saka, can’t wait for Rice to be at the Arsenal next season.”
And a final user wrote: “Declan Rice and Bukayo Saka is the bromance we want to see flourish at the Arsenal.”
Rice has rejected the offer of a new contract at the London Stadium.
Keen to stay in London and play in the Champions League, Arsenal could be the suitable next destination for one of the Premier League’s top midfielders.
And Rice will no doubt have the likes of Saka and fellow Gunner Aaron Ramsdale working as Mikel Arteta’s agents to try and convince him to make the switch across the capital.
