Declan Rice becomes the most expensive English player Ever

Sports report

Declan Rice is an English professional footballer who plays as a defensive midfielder for Premier League club Arsenal and the England national team. Arsenal have made Declan Rice the joint-most expensive English footballer of all time after completing his £105million transfer from West Ham. England midfielder Rice becomes just the eighth player to cost nine figures, joining a who's who of football royalty from the 21st century.

After weeks of speculation, Declan Rice finally has a new home as his £10m transfer from West Ham United to Arsenal is complete. Plenty of English players have fetched a generous transfer fee, including Rice who is now tied for seventh in the list of most expensive players of all time. But where does the midfielder rank in terms of English players?

Rice's transfer to Arsenal makes him tied in first place for the most expensive English footballer of all time. The potential £5m in add-ons which are part of the deal could see Rice top the table on his own, as he prepares to begin life with the Gunners. The £100m plus paid for Rice is by far Arsenal's biggest transfer fee paid, smashing the £72m paid for Nicolas Pepe.

Declan Rice is ahead of Manchester City’s Jack Grealish, who sits in second position after his £100 million move from
Aston Villa to the Citizens in 2021.

The top ten is completed by Harry Maguire (£80m, Leicester City to Manchester United), Jadon Sancho (£75m, Borussia Dortmund to Manchester United), Mason Mount (£60m, Chelsea to Man United), Ben White (£50m, Brighton to Arsenal), Raheem Sterling (£49m, Man City to Chelsea), Aaron Wan-Bissaka (£48.5m, Crystal Palace to Man United), John Stones (£47.5m, Everton to Man City), Kyle Walker (£45m, Tottenham to Man City).
