Declan Rice has become Arsenal through and through since leaving West Ham United.
Irons fans were not happy when the Gunners signed him in 2023, and he has been booed by some of their supporters when he has faced them.
There was a joke going around on social media that Rice would not win anything at Arsenal after he left West Ham, but that has now come to an end after the North Londoners won the Premier League title.
We imagine the Hammers are not too happy with that, and what will make them angrier is what Rice has just said about Arsenal.
Does Declan Rice deserve to be Arsenal’s highest earner…if not, then who?
Declan Rice tells Laura Woods he loves Arsenal
When Declan Rice was at West Ham United, he was adored by their fans.
The Englishman conducted himself with class, and he led the Irons to the Conference League crown as the captain of the club.
There is no doubt that Rice loved West Ham as much as their supporters loved him, but things have changed now.
The midfielder is now a Premier League champion with Arsenal, and after being part of the initial celebrations and watching the reaction of fans, he is blown away.
During an interview with Mikel Arteta, Laura Woods told the Arsenal boss about her conversation with Rice when she got there.
She said on TNT Sports: “I saw Declan Rice earlier on and just off camera, he said: ‘This club is amazing! I just love this club!'”
Passionate West Ham fans may understand where Rice is coming from, but we’re sure they will not be too happy with his comment.

Declan Rice will end up an Arsenal legend
Rice has been absolutely incredible for Arsenal since he joined the club.
The England international has barely put a foot wrong over the last three years, and his efforts have finally been rewarded.
Arsenal are now Premier League champions, and they are one win away from lifting the Champions League title as well.
If that happens, Rice and many others in this squad will end up as club legends.
We wonder how West Ham fans will feel about that.
