Fabrizio Romano has included Declan Rice's transfer to Arsenal in his list of the top five summer transfers.
The midfielder made a record-breaking move from West Ham to the Emirates Stadium and has consistently been part of Mikel Arteta's starting XI since his arrival. Arsenal viewed him as a crucial addition to their squad and are delighted to have him play in every game.
Despite a summer marked by significant transfers involving players like Neymar, Harry Kane, and Jude Bellingham, Romano singled out Rice's move as one of the standout transfers in his top five selections.
“The battle with Manchester City was tough but Arsenal have secured a top player for present and future. Declan Rice is not just a midfielder, he’s the midfield," the sports journalist said, as quoted by Give Me Sport.
“Credits to Arsenal because the investment has been huge but Rice is worth all the money that has been spent, he really has the potential to make history for the club," he added.

5. Tijjani Reijnders: From AZ Alkmaar to AC Milan
4. Dominik Szoboszlai: From RB Leipzig to Liverpool
3. Declan Rice: From West Ham to Arsenal
