This has been quite the month for Declan Rice. A few weeks ago he captained his club to their first major trophy in 43 years, and now he has the three best teams in the Premier League fighting for his signature.
In the decades to come, he will surely look back at this as one of the defining periods of his life.
It must be exciting beyond measure, but also a little dizzying. Decision time is fast approaching and Rice, it seems, effectively has his pick of Manchester City, Arsenal and Manchester United.
Well, that is not quite true, as any potential buyer has to reach an agreement with West Ham United first, but it is obvious that Rice’s personal preference will be hugely important.
The key question for Arsenal, who have been the frontrunners for months, is whether they can offer a more compelling package than City and United. Not just in terms of finances, but in terms of the sporting project. How do they compete with the Treble winners, coached by the world’s best manager, and the prospect of playing alongside the likes of Erling Haaland, Kevin De Bruyne and Jack Grealish?
