Huge boost for Arsenal as Declan Rice fans snap up £107 shirts after £105m transfer

Fans of Arsenal are in a frenzy to snap up merchandise featuring Declan Rice’s name and squad number after the star signed for the side for a record £105 million

Arsenal fans are snapping up £107 Declan Rice shirts, just a day after his record £105million ­transfer was confirmed.

The North London side is already making thousands of pounds in online sales from shirts showing the midfielder’s name and squad number.

Rice, 24, said it was an “absolute privilege” to join Arsenal, second in last season’s Premier League, from West Ham, where he played for eight years.

Rice, now with 43 England caps, grew up in West London and started at Chelsea but was dropped at 14.
