Declan Rice has vowed to bring success back to Arsenal in a warning for Premier League rivals Manchester City.
The midfielder's move to the Emirates was confirmed on Saturday, with the Gunners side paying up to £105million for their man. Mikel Arteta's side have now spent around £200million already this summer, following earlier arrivals of Kai Havertz and Jurrien Timber from Chelsea and Ajax respectively.
Such transfer business is a sign of intent that the North London club have no intention of looking back on last season as a flash in the pan, having topped the Premier League table for so long before eventually losing out to City. Pep Guardiola's side did table a bid for Rice, but were unwilling to progress after learning they would need to pay more than £100million.
Rice's heart always seemed to be set on the Emirates, however, and the former West Ham captain has warned that he will do all he can to bring silverware back to the capital.

"With Mikel and how he works, the squad, how young everyone is, the energy around the club and also the challenge of getting Arsenal back to where they belong, that means a lot to me. I know the fans really want that.
"For me as a player, I’ve come here really hungry to have more success and to spend my best years at this
