Speaking to AFTV, Jack Wilshere said: "I saw Declan Rice's recent interview, I think he made it clear that he knows there is speculation, and everyone knows that Arsenal are interested.
"Listen, what Dec has done for a young player, for his club West Ham, for England, to lift a trophy. But also he is their main man, to have that on your shoulders at 23, 24 is special.
"So if anyone gets him, I hope it is Arsenal because I think he will be sensational for the next eight to 10 years and he eventually could be an Arsenal captain. So, I hope he does come but it's down to him."
Last Wednesday, Rice captained West Ham in their historic win in the Europa Conference League final, beating Serie A side Fiorentina 1–0.
The 24-year-old is expected to leave the Hammers this summer with Arsenal, Manchester United and Bayern Munich interested in the midfielder.
