New Arsenal midfielder, Bruno Guimaraes, has revealed that Declan Rice messaged him ahead of his move to the club.
Guimaraes has joined the Gunners in a £75 million move from Newcastle.
The Brazilian was involved in some intense battles with his new team mates in recent seasons.
But now, he is looking forward to playing alongside Rice and in what he describes as “one of the best”midfields in Europe.
When asked about Arsenal’s midfield, he said: “Very good, very good.
“[Declan] Rice sent me a message: ‘Come here and please no more fights, now we’re friends.’
“I was happy he messaged me, but the midfield we have here, in my point of view, is one of the best in Europe.
“Everyone is an amazing player. I’m so excited to start chatting and playing, and know the players very, very well, but we have an amazing midfield.”
