Arsenal’s rising star, Bukayo Saka, recently shared insights into how he played a pivotal role in persuading Declan Rice to make the significant move to the Emirates. This persuasive effort orchestrated by Saka resulted in Rice’s high-profile transfer from West Ham to Arsenal, a remarkable deal valued at £105 million.
Upon Rice’s arrival at Arsenal, he quickly integrated into the squad and left an indelible mark by scoring a crucial match-winning goal against Manchester United. The support and influence of Rice’s England national teammates played a pivotal role in facilitating this transition.
In an interview with Talksport, Saka revealed that he had engaged in discussions with Rice during the transfer process. He explained, “He (Rice) posed several questions about Arsenal, and I responded comprehensively. I’d just try to give him the reassurance that.”
