They have been pretty involved in everything related to Arsenal and often have remained contentious for them as well. Nevertheless, among the fans they have been pretty prevalent.

AFTV in their special way announced the signing. AFTV performers sang over the top of ‘Rice, Rice Baby’ while playing a version of Vanilla Ice’s ‘Ice, Ice Baby’.

The video, directed by AFTV host and dancer Cecil Jee Thomas and shot outside the Emirates, has already gone popular on social media. Although the response so far has been pretty negative only.

Most of the fans have claimed the Video was a ‘Cringefest’ while some of them even urged AFTV to even delete it from the platform. A couple of them although praised the dance moves on the video.

Declan Rice is the third major signing for Arsenal this summer after they fell short of the league title to Manchester City last summer. Mikel Arteta has already spent close to £200m on Declan Rice, Jurrien Timber, and Kai Havertz.

A couple of more arrivals could also be anticipated. Southampton’s Romeo Lavia and Bayer Leverkusen’s Moussa Diaby have been linked with the North London side recently who are bracing for another potential title charge next season.
