Arsenal will come up with a top signing for Mikel Arteta this summer.

That is according to former player and current academy coach Jack Wilshere.

The ex-attacking midfielder spoke about the potential of signing West Ham captain Declan Rice.

"He's a midfielder who can do anything," Wilshere told PA on signings.

"Anyone who supports any club would want Dec [Declan Rice of West Ham] to join. If I'm talking from a selfish point of view, in north London, I think he would be very good under Mikel's watch.

"Mikel would develop him, bring him on even more and he would be massive for the team as well. I have had conversations with Dec and told him what he is doing is unbelievable, he is captain of a big Premier League club and is always learning.

"You have to be respectful to West Ham, that is his club, but his future is in his hands and it's very exciting for him because he's got everything with him now and he's picking up more and more, he's growing into this man who could play anywhere. I'm looking forward to wherever he goes. I hope it is Arsenal, it would be a massive signing and a perfect fit."
