Bukayo Saka wants to win “everything” with England and gave Declan Rice advice before his switch to Arsenal.
Declan Rice, Arsenal’s high-profile summer signing, may have been persuaded to sign with them thanks in part to Bukayo Saka.
The £105 million transfer to the Emirates of the former West Ham captain and England midfielder this summer set a record for a British player.
In July, Rice set a new signing record for Arsenal.
He might have decided to act after hearing Saka’s advice.

In addition, Gunners supporters may owe their “star boy” some thanks for helping to make the transfer happen by putting in a good word for the team when Rice was considering his next move.
I’d just try to reassure him that he was coming to the right club and that the future was exciting for us, Saka said to talkSPORT.
“Obviously he’d ask a few questions and I’d answer them, but yeah, I’d just try to give him the reassurance that he’d be coming to the right club.”.
“If he joined us, he’d make us better, and yeah, we can achieve things,” he said.”.
At the very last moment on Sunday, Rice scored from the edge of the box to give Arsenal a 2-1 lead over Manchester United before Gabriel Jesus added another goal to make it a 3-1 victory.
“Ice, ice, baby,” which was obviously a reference to their summer signing, was blared over the speakers as the Emirates faithful went wild in jubilation.
Saka claims he was mesmerized by how electrified the stadium was following the last-ditch goals.
It was a moment that would have given even impartial fans goosebumps.
I’ve probably watched his goal back 20 times because it was so incredible, Saka chuckled.
He and his family experienced an unbelievable moment. Even the stadium, he claimed, was crazy in comparison to the energy there.
“He’s right, though; playing there is very unique.
There isn’t a better time for him to score his first goal, so I’m just glad he’s enjoying himself, playing well, and is happy about it.
I’m glad for him, so, yeah.”.
Together, the two shared last month’s Community Shield victory.

Now, their shared goal will be to bring honor to their club and nation.

Saka and the new Gunners midfielder not only collaborated to help Arsenal win the league for the first time in 20 years, but they also played together at the 2020 European Championship and the 2022 World Cup.
With teammates Saka, Eddie Nketiah, and Aaron Ramsdale joining them, this will be Rice’s first time playing for England as a Gunner.
The Three Lions will play Scotland in a friendly on September 12 and Ukraine on Saturday in Euro 2024 qualifying matches, both of which will be broadcast live on talkSPORT.
However, attention will primarily be on England’s preparations for Euro 2024, and it’s safe to say Saka has high expectations for himself as he seeks to increase his current total of 28 caps.
I simply want to triumph with England, he declared.
It really is that straightforward.”.
With only four England camps remaining before the next major competition, he was asked if the current Three Lions squad was the best group to do that with.
He responded, “Yeah, it’s pretty quick, it’s literally next summer!
So, yes, we’re working out, and we have a ton of games coming up to keep learning, keep developing as a team, and, yes, boost our confidence going into the competition.”.
