Why Declan Rice could have to switch his Arsenal jersey number

Declan Rice could have to switch his jersey number for the next season.

Declan Rice, a midfielder for West Ham and England, will join Arsenal in a £105 million move.

If you remember, West Ham rejected two offers for the 24-year-old midfielder from Arsenal as well as an offer of 95 million pounds from Manchester City. 

However, when he gets to north London, Rice could need to make some adjustments.

Declan Rice has had the number 41 jersey at West Ham for a number of years. However, Rice may not be allowed to choose his preferred jersey number if the Arsenal agreement is finalized since the club often forbids players from choosing numbers rather than the approved "senior numbers."
