Former Arsenal midfielder Emmanuel Frimpong says they should move for West Ham ace Declan Rice.

Frimpong believes the former Chelsea academy man could form a formidable partnership with Thomas Partey in the middle of the pitch.

Speaking to The Sun via BoyleXtra, Frimpong said: "I would like to have Declan Rice.

"He's a very good player, improved a lot and shown a lot of maturity for his age. He's done really well for West Ham, I'm a huge fan of his.

"A midfield of him and Partey would be a very strong midfield partnership. I'd also like another left-back to compete with [Kieran] Tierney.

"I feel like we're really struggling in that department at the moment.

"I'd also want us to sign a striker - there aren't any that come to mind that are realistic signings at the minute, but that's one position we really need to strengthen."
