Jack Wilshere believes Declan Rice would be a 'perfect fit' at Arsenal and would develop as a player under Mikel Arteta.
The West Ham captain is one of Arsenal's main targets this summer and the north London side are ready to splash the cash to secure his signature, with the Gunners leading the race to sign the 24-year-old.
Rice collected his 41st England cap in Sunday's Euro 2024 qualification win over Ukraine, where he was spotted talking to Gunners left-back Oleksandr Zinchenko at full-time.
The defensive midfielder made his West Ham debut in 2017 and was installed as club captain upon Mark Noble's retirement last summer.
He also spent time playing in the Hammers midfield with Wilshere and the former Arsenal star, who now manages the Gunners Under 18s side, has witnessed enough of Rice's ability first-hand to have concluded he would be a hit at the Emirates stadium.

'He's a midfielder who can do anything,' Wilshere told PA. 'Anyone who supports any club would want Dec to join.
