Arsenal midfielder Declan Rice reveals the name of the player he so wish for Arsenal to sign this summer and most fans agree with him

Declan Rice, the Arsenal club record signing, has disclosed which Arsenal target he would “love” to see in his own squad.

Arsenal has identified a top summer target this summer as the transfer business resumes. The club is of the opinion that there is a greater opportunity to acquire a defensive-midfielder than a central-midfielder.

Declan Rice and Martin Ødegaard are now dependable members of Mikel Arteta’s starting lineup. However, the third midfield position remains an open competition following Kai Havertz’s transition to the striker position.

Last season, the Gunners utilized Jorginho and Emile Smith Rowe in the left side of midfield, which suggests that they may consider internal options. Nevertheless, Edu and his squad are reportedly eager to recruit an external player for the midfield department, as the likes of Amadou Onana, Mikel Merino, and Joshua Kimmich are all being linked with a move to North London this summer.

Nevertheless, Declan Rice has disclosed that his England comrade, Conor Gallagher, is the midfielder he would “love” to have on his team.

Chelsea is prepared to sell their academy graduate and stand-in captain for a minimum of €50 million, according to AS. Nevertheless, the 24-year-old from Epsom’s aspirations to become a legend at The Blues serve as an obstacle to the completion of a potential agreement.

In an interview with BBC Radio 5 Live, Arsenal’s club record signing disclosed, “I have met him in the academy team and played against him at Crystal Palace and Chelsea.”
