Arsenal have confirmed the signing of Declan Rice from West Ham in a British record \u00a3105 million deal. The England international becomes Arsenal’s second signing of the week following the capture of Jurrien Timber from Arsenal on Friday. Rice joins the defender, and Kai Havertz, who arrived from Chelsea earlier this summer at the Emirates as Mikel Arteta’s side look to regroup and compete for the title again after narrowly missing out last season. West Ham and Arsenal had agreed on a deal over Rice last week. However, the official announcement was delayed because both clubs were still finalising the payment structure, with Arsenal expected to pay an initial \u00a3100m and an extra \u00a35m coming in add-ons.
