What changed
Declan Rice says he is close to signing a new long-term contract with Arsenal. His current deal runs until 2028, but the 27-year-old midfielder is expected to extend his stay in north London after joining from West Ham in 2023 for £105m.
The new contract has not yet been signed. Its length, salary and other terms remain undisclosed, though Rice is expected to join Bukayo Saka among Arsenal’s top earners.
Why it matters
This is a strong signal that Rice’s place at Arsenal is becoming even more secure. He said the club’s manager and teammates have given him the trust and energy to perform consistently, and that continuity has helped him develop.
In practical terms, Arsenal appear ready to make their £105m investment an even longer-term commitment. Rice’s comments suggest the agreement is close, but the final paperwork still matters.
