Former Ghana midfielder Emmanuel Frimpong has backed Arsenal to complete the signing of Declan Rice to partner with Thomas Partey in midfield next season.
Rice has been linked with a summer move to several clubs in Europe including the Gunners following his impressive performances for West Ham this season.
The 23-year-old has made 43 appearances for the Hammers across all competitions this season, scored five goals and provided four assists – leading David Moyes’ side to semi-finals of the UEFA Europa League semi-finals,
“I would like to have Declan Rice,” Frimpong told SunSport via BoyleXtra.
“He’s a very good player, improved a lot and shown a lot of maturity for his age. He’s done really well for West Ham, I’m a huge fan of his.
He added, “A midfield of him and Partey would be a very strong midfield partnership. I’d also like another left-back to compete with [Kieran] Tierney.”
“I feel like we’re really struggling in that department at the moment.
“I’d also want us to sign a striker – there aren’t any that come to mind that are realistic signings at the minute, but that’s one position we really need to strengthen.”
Meanwhile, Thomas Partey has been ruled out of the season due an injury he picked up against Crystal Palace in the Premier League.
