Former West Ham United striker Andy Carroll has urged his former teammate Declan Rice to join Arsenal instead of Manchester United or Chelsea this summer transfer window.

Rice, 24, is expected to leave West Ham at the end of the season.

The England international has been linked with a move to Arsenal, Chelsea, and Manchester United.

“I can’t really see Declan Rice leaving the Premier League,” Carroll told Metro UK.

“West Ham are not doing great at the moment, but Declan loves West Ham." I was at the club with him when he was a kid coming through—he’s a great guy and a great player.

“We all know he needs to go to a top club." I can’t see him going outside of England, but he should go to a top-three or top-two club.

“I would like to see Declan at Arsenal, to be honest; I am not an Arsenal fan, but I like the way they are playing at the minute.”
