Transfer: No guarantee you’ll win trophies – Carragher warns Rice against joining EPL rival

Liverpool legend, Jamie Carragher has sent a clear warning to West Ham United captain, Declan Rice against joining Arsenal this summer.

Carragher warned Rice that there is no guarantee of him winning trophies at Arsenal should he join the Gunners this summer transfer window from West Ham.

Rice is keen to leave West Ham this summer after leading the Hammers to win the Europa Conference League during the 2022/23 season.

The England midfielder has been linked with Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea, Bayern Munich and Manchester United.

City hauled back the Gunners in a thrilling title duel before sealing a historic treble with FA Cup and Champions League success.

“It is difficult with Declan Rice, and I think Harry Kane falls into this one too, they are at clubs that probably are not going to challenge for the Premier League or Champions League,” Carragher told Metro UK.

“But unless you go to Man City, there is no guarantee you are going to come out with trophies that you want.

“But you want to give yourself the opportunity and the tough question for Arsenal heading into next season is whether this was a one-off or whether they can be consistent and challenge the biggest sides because it has not happened for a long time.

“I always felt he [Declan Rice] would end up at Chelsea, but he could go to Arsenal and it could go great for him. He’s a step up from what they have got, but there is no guarantee he will go on to win the biggest trophies with them.”
