Arsenal legend, Kevin Campbell says West Ham midfielder Declan Rice would be a perfect replacement for Thomas Partey at Arsenal.
Rice has been linked to several clubs in the Premier League due to impressive outings.
Rice’s contract at the London Stadium expires in 2024 but the club do have an option to extend it by a further year. However, they are keen to pen him down to a longer deal.
Campbell told The Highbury Squad: “I truly believe, this is the truth. If you are going to pay £100m, who would you buy? Would you buy Bellingham or would you buy Rice?
“I’d buy Rice. All day long. Bellingham is good and he is younger.
“But the game Rice has is perfect for what we have or what we are going to need. I am thinking he is a natural successor to Thomas Partey, who does things in a different way, but he can control a game himself, like Bellingham.
“But if it was £100m and I had to pick one, then I would pick Rice. I think we have other players there who can do what Bellingham does for us, but there aren’t many that can do what Rice can do.”
