Arsenal's new champion is born! Rice became the second signing in the summer window, with a transfer fee of 105 million and a weekly salary of 240,000

On Saturday, West Ham announced a transfer deal with Rice with Arsenal via the club's official website. Rice will join Arsenal for a transfer fee of £105 million, becoming the Gunners' highest-paid player and the most expensive English player signed by a Premier League club.

As West Ham captain, Rice won the UEFA Europa League last season as captain and has become a core player of the Three Lions. Rice has been Arsenal's top signing target in the summer window, with the Gunners offering £80 million and £90 million respectively, but both were rejected by West Ham. At the same time, Manchester City also offered a total price of 90 million pounds.

After that, Arsenal made a third offer of a whopping £105 million, of which £100 million was a transfer fee and £5 million for a surcharge, and agreed with West Ham on 27 June, but disagreed on the payment method. On July 4, the two sides finally reached an agreement that Arsenal will pay the transfer fee in three installments over a year.

Despite an early agreement, Arsenal's lawyers' mistakes in drafting the agreement led to Arsenal's delay in announcing the signing, causing West Ham's displeasure.

After joining Arsenal, Rice's weekly salary reached £240,000, while when playing for West Ham, Rice's weekly salary was only £60,000. Within the Arsenal team, Rice's weekly salary is second only to Jesus.

Bellingham, who switched from Borussia Dortmund to Real Madrid for £115 million, is at the top of the list on the transfer fee of England players, while Grealish is second with £100 million. In the league list of transfer fees for English clubs, Enzo Fernandes is at the top of the table with 106 million.

After moving to Arsenal, Rice surpassed Grealish for £105 million to become the English player with the highest transfer fee for a Premier League club in history.

At the same time, Rice also broke the record for Arsenal's all-time transfer fee set by Pepe with £72 million when he joined, becoming Arsenal's all-time champion.

While signing Havertz and Rice, Arsenal have also reached a transfer deal with Timbell, who has a transfer fee of 47 million euros. If Timberer is signed, Arsenal's summer window investment will be as high as 226 million euros, thus setting a record for the team's history summer window.
