Declan Rice, whose move to Arsenal is on the verge of completion, has returned to pre-season training.

Following Jude Bellingham in all-time British moves, Rice's £105 million move from West Ham to North London set a Premier League transfer record for a British player.

The West Ham captain is yet to be officially announced by Arsenal due to the fact that both parties are checking the final details of the agreement.

Despite the announcement not being made yet, Declan Rice was seen doing some personal training routines as he plans to look sharp heading to the pre-season.
