Arsenal Fan Launches Campaign To INCREASE Declan Rice's Transfer Fee To £130m

An Arsenal supporter is asking his fellow fans to help him raise money for West Ham United after claiming that his club made an "underpayment" when signing Declan Rice.

The Gunners bought Rice for a club-record transfer fee of £105 million in July but Zac Wilson reckons the England midfielder is worth an extra £25m.

Wilson started a campaign on gofundme.com after Rice scored a 97th-minute winner for Arsenal in a 4-3 victory at Luton Town on Tuesday.

In his appeal for donations, Wilson wrote: "In light of the unfortunate robbery of West Ham United.

"We are asking Arsenal fans to come together to raise funds for West Ham United to compensate the underpayment of Declan Rice.

"It has become evident in the last 15 weeks that Edu and Arsenal were the beneficiaries of a £25,000,000 underpayment to West Ham United."

Wilson's stunt is obviously a joke and he is currently around £25m short of his £25m target!

Rice has started 15 Premier League games since joining Arsenal.

In those 15 matches, he has scored three goals and provided one assist. He has also made 955 successful passes, 28 tackles and 23 interceptions.
