West Ham star told to join Arsenal ahead of Chelsea and Man Utd

Former Scotland and Rangers star Ally McCoist has sent a message to West Ham United captain Declan Rice bothering about his future.

McCoist in his statement advised Rice to consider a move to Arsenal instead of Manchester United and Chelsea this summer.

Rice is determined to leave West Ham United this summer and has been linked with moves to Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United in recent weeks.

Discussing Rice’s future, McCoist told talkSPORT: “It’s a funny one. If I am Declan Rice and I am weighing up my options, I am thinking I would probably rather go to Arsenal than Manchester United.

“I look at Manchester United over the weekend and over the season – and I know they have won the League Cup – but they look as though they are four or five players behind Manchester City.

“I still think Arsenal are well behind Manchester City, but I think they’ve got the potential to get nearer to them quicker.”
