Liverpool great Robbie Fowler feels Declan Rice should join Manchester City.
City and Arsenal are battling to sign the West Ham captain.
Fowler wrote for the Mirror: "If Declan Rice wants to win trophies then he must sign for Manchester City.
"Apologies to any Arsenal fans who think that the West Ham midfielder can realise his full potential by moving across the capital. The reality is that the Gunners are a work in progress who punched above their weight last season - and still finished second to City.
"The one thing a player is guaranteed when they sign up for Pep Guardiola at the Etihad is a bag full of medals. Just ask the last midfielder who cost City 100 million. Since leaving Aston Villa two years ago, Jack Grealish has won the Champions League, two Premier League titles and the FA Cup. No wonder Jack felt like celebrating after City clinched the treble!
"My former club are serial winners. Apparently, City are ready to gazump the Gunners in the bidding for Rice - and you can be sure West Ham chairman David Sullivan will squeeze every penny out of the deal."
He added: "Ultimately, the decision will be down to Rice. He can leave the Hammers with his head held high after captaining them to the Europa Conference League earlier this month.
"Arsenal will hope home comforts might convince him to turn down a move to the north west, but the world is a small place. Rice could fly from Manchester to London in about the same time it would take him to drive from Rush Green to London Colney.
"Declan will retire as a wealthy man whether he signs for City, Arsenal or stays at the Olympic Stadium. And, anyway, he doesn't strike me as someone who is motivated by money. Rice's decision will be made on what is best for his career. And, in my opinion, that means signing on the dotted line for City."
