Arsenal Fans Setup GoFundMe Campaign To Pay West Ham An Extra £25m For Declan Rice

Admiringly, supporters of Arsenal have brilliantly set up a GoFundMe page in order to pay an extra £25m ($32m) to West Ham for Declan Rice.

The England player, who cost £105 million ($132 million) to sign with Arsenal after leaving West Ham, once again proved to be a hero for the Gunners on Tuesday, as his goal in the 97th minute gave his team the advantage over Luton Town in a thrilling seven-goal match in the Premier League. Overjoyed by the midfielder’s actions, some Arsenal supporters created a GoFundMe campaign in an effort to give the Hammers an additional £25 million, according to The Daily Mail.

The following was the description of the fundraiser on GoFundMe’s official website: “In light of the unfortunate robbery of West Ham United. We are asking Arsenal fans to come together to raise funds for West Ham United to compensate the underpayment of Declan Rice. It has become evident in the last 15 weeks that Edu and Arsenal were the beneficiaries of a £25,000,000 underpayment to West Ham United.”

The page’s supporters, who are Arsenal supporters, have mockingly stated that Rice’s qualities should not have been compensated for with the club record £105 million that the Hammers received. This season, the 24-year-old has three Premier League goals under his belt. In September, he also scored a last-minute goal against Manchester United to help his club win 3-1 at the Emirates Stadium.

Mikel Arteta’s team now has a five-point advantage at the top of the table and will be ready to play Aston Villa in the Premier League on Saturday. On Tuesday, they will fly to the Netherlands to play PSV in their last Champions League group stage match.
