Rice close to agreeing new long‑term Arsenal contract

Sources have confirmed that Declan Rice is close to agreeing a new long‑term contract with Arsenal, as his current deal approaches its end.

Rice has been a key figure in Arsenal’s midfield, providing stability and leadership on the pitch. Securing him for another several years would ensure continuity for the team’s core lineup.

The club’s management has expressed a strong desire to keep him, recognising his importance in both domestic and European competitions.

Negotiations are reportedly in the final stages, with an official announcement expected once the parties have reached an agreement.

Once confirmed, the extension would lock Rice in for the foreseeable future, allowing Arsenal to plan their squad without the uncertainty of a potential departure.
