Rice near new long‑term deal with Arsenal

The England midfielder is reportedly close to finalising a new deal that will keep him at the North London club for several more seasons, according to sources cited by BBC Sport.

Rice has been a pivotal figure in Arsenal’s midfield since joining in 2019, contributing both defensively and in attack. His consistency and leadership have made him a cornerstone of manager Mikel Arteta’s plans, and the club appears keen to secure his services for the long term.

While no specific terms have been disclosed, the ongoing negotiations suggest an agreement could be reached before the start of the next campaign. Supporters will be watching closely as the club aims to lock down one of its most valuable assets ahead of the upcoming season.
