Andriy Yarmolenko’s former West Ham teammate Declan Rice, who won the Conference League with the Hammers, has become a London Arsenal footballer.
Under the 24-year-old England midfielder, the Gunners unofficially shelled out £100m (€116.47m) plus £5m (€5.82m) in bonuses.
“I’ve been watching Arsenal for the last two seasons and the trajectory they’ve been on, - the newly minted teammate of the Ukrainian Oleksandr Zinchenko shared his emotions after signing the contract. - Not last season, but the year before, they finished fifth, but it was noticeable what style of play Arteta instilled. Last season was outstanding, they beat almost every team except Manchester City. Mikel and the way he works, how young everyone is, the energy at the club and the challenge of getting Arsenal back to where they belong, that means a lot to me.”
Note that the transfer of Declan Rice was a record for a British football player in the Premier League. To become an absolute record holder, the newcomer of the Gunners did not have quite a bit - this winter, Chelsea paid Benfica for Argentine Enzo Fernandez 106 million pounds (123.46 million euros).
Earlier reported that the titled teammate Zinchenko scored a meaningless goal into his own net from 35 meters.
