Pundit suggests the winner in Arsenal, Chelsea, Man City and Liverpool race to sign Declan Rice after source’s reveal
Alan Hutton has suggested Declan Rice could be tempted by a move to Arsenal.
Speaking exclusively to Football Insider, the former Tottenham and Aston Villa defender said he is interested to see the price tag for Rice but insisted he is not worth as much as the likes of Jude Bellingham.
On Monday (13 February), sources told this site that the Gunners are leading the race to sign the West Ham star but Chelsea are also closely following him.
The 24-year-old is on the wishlist of several Premier League big hitters and there is set to be a big battle for his signature in the summer.
The midfielder is keen to remain in London but has an open mind as to where his future could lie.
When asked if Rice could choose Arsenal over other options, Hutton told Football Insider: “I do not see why you wouldn’t.
“They are still up there and challenging for the league title. The process has worked really well under Arteta, he is building a squad to go and challenge in the league and Europe.
“I think that is somewhere where Declan Rice sees himself, playing in the Champions League. I am really interested to see what kind of price tag we are talking.
“If you look at the likes of Jude Bellingham, are we talking about the same kind of figure? I do not think they are on the same level. That is no sleight on Declan Rice. It will be interesting to see what kind of figure we are talking about.“
