Declan Rice is already feeling right at home at Arsenal. After completing a record £105 million move to the Gunners from West Ham 11 days ago, he is quickly settling in and getting to know his new teammates. He admits that the transfer saga did take a toll on him, but he is relieved that it is finally over and he is in the Emirates.
On the pre-season tour of the United States, he is getting to meet all his new teammates and is already forming a strong connection with his former Brighton teammate Leandro Trossard. When asked who he has bonded with the most, Rice told Sky Sports, "From the first day I was here, Leandro Trossard. You wouldn't put us two together, I would say, but he's a really, really top guy. I sat next to him on the plane. I've been with him here quite a lot. He's just an all-round top person. I've really got on with him and playing against him in the past as well, he was always a pain so it's nice to have him on my side now."
Rice is also impressed with the strong international contingent at Arsenal, noting that "from the outside you see Arsenal was like a big family together. And that's exactly what it is inside the dressing room, which is really good." He is eager to be part of the club and help to bring success to the team.
