Declan Rice praises 'hungry' Arsenal team-mates, says he LOVES the fact nobody can feel 'comfortable' due to the side's winning mentality, and claims Mikel Arteta will take him to the 'next level' after £105m switch

Declan Rice has spoken of Arsenal's 'hunger' as one of the key factors that drew him to the club after signing for £105 million.

The deal was finally agreed on Saturday after weeks of delays, as the former West Ham star became Britain's most expensive footballer.

He arrives at the club after a nine-year spell in East London where he made history as the third West Ham captain ever to lift a major trophy with last season's Europa Conference League win.

The 24-year-old penned an emotional open letter to Hammers' fans after his exit was confirmed.
