Declan Rice says he's joined Arsenal to win silverware.

The former West Ham captain joined the Gunners for a British record £105m.

Asked why he made the move, Rice said: "To win trophies.

"That is why the players we have are here."

England international Rice added: "You only get one career and at the end you want to be determined by how many trophies you have won.

"I know this squad is so hungry to win stuff. We are young and hungry and have a lot of energy.

"Off the back of last season, they will have learned a lot so this year, with all the competitions we are going into, there is one aim and that is to win, not just to take part."

On a first Champions League experience, Rice also stated: "It is going to be the best. It is the pinnacle in football.

"Not many players get to play in the Champions League. Getting that chance this year to put on a shirt and to hear that anthem will be so special.

"In football, you only get one opportunity to do great things and join great clubs. That is what the case was with Arsenal.

"I feel like it is a club that deserves to be in the Champions League and deserves to have the big nights - I can't wait to experience it."
