Jack Wilshere has advised Arsenal to secure the services of England Midfielder, Declan Rice.
Rice has been linked with a move away from the London Stadium this summer, with Arsenal emerging as a front-runner among potential suitors for the West Ham captain
The 24-year-old made his West Ham debut in 2017 and has since become an integral part of the club.
Wilshere who now manages the Gunners Under-18s side had earlier played along with Rice at West Ham and is now urging Arsenal to go for him.
“He’s a midfielder who can do anything,” Wilshere said.
“Anyone who supports any club would want Dec to join.
“If I’m talking from a selfish point of view, in north London, I think he would be very good under Mikel’s watch.
“Mikel would develop him, bring him on even more and he would be massive for the team as well. I have had conversations with Dec and told him what he is doing in unbelievable, he is captain of a big Premier League club and is always learning.
“You have to be respectful to West Ham, that is his club, but his future is in his hands and it’s very exciting for him because he’s got everything with him now and he’s picking up more and more, he’s growing into this man who could play anywhere.
“I’m looking forward to wherever he goes. I hope it is Arsenal, it would be a massive signing and a perfect fit.” He said
