Jamie Carragher believes Arsenal risk losing key players including Declan Rice if they continue to struggle for success.
Rice, who will sign for Arsenal in a deal worth £105m in 2023, could have his future at risk if the Gunners endure another disappointing season, a Liverpool legend has warned.
Arsenal have missed out on สมัคร UFABET วันนี้ รับเครดิตฟรีสำหรับสมาชิกใหม่ silverware for the fifth successive season and Mikel Arteta is under pressure from a lack of success, with Carragher fearing the Gunners risk losing the team they have built.
“I don’t think so at the moment [that Rice is doubting his future],” Carragher told Sky Sports. “I think it’s another player in the squad who has been around longer.”
The pundit has warned that Rice could start to question his future if Arsenal suffer another barren season, although Carragher thinks longer-serving players such as William Saliba may have such thoughts quicker than Rice. “
Declan, I think he’s been the best player at Arsenal this season. I’m not saying He’ll give it another 12 months but I think those doubts will be there in the next 12 months. “
It might be different to somebody like (William) Saliba who’s been there a little bit longer and wants to win trophies. “
I don’t think there’s that mindset at the moment. I think they all feel they’re very close to winning trophies, they’re very close but we all know, as players, the final step is the biggest step.”
Rice’s contract expires in 2028, with the option of a further year, but the likes of Saliba, Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Magalhaes are out in 2027.
