Declan Rice is being backed to transform Arsenal into title winners.

The Gunners are favourites to land the West Ham captain.

Former Chelsea striker Tony Cascarino told talkSPORT: "If you look at Arsenal, since [Mikel] Arteta came in December 2019, that season they got 56 points. He hadn't played a part earlier in the season, the next season they got 61, the next season they got 69.

"And last year they got 84, so there's a real upward curve at Arsenal. Declan Rice would make the impact that Alisson and Van Dijk made at Liverpool by coming."

He added: "It's an easy choice - Man City is an easy choice as in they could easily win the double next year and maybe more.

"That's the thing you've got to really consider, but how big a part do you really play in that if you go to Manchester City? Because it's not impossible that they could spend 100m and he could be a bit-part player at Man City.

"Some people might laugh at that, well that's exactly the first season of Jack Grealish. I do think there is a very high possibility that he won't play as much football as he would like."
