Arsenal have finally announced the long and drawn out signing of Declan Rice for a fee of £105 million.
The former Ireland centre-mid has made 245 appearances for West Ham and 43 for England, and could be, as Arsenal hope, the linchpin to take them to a Premier League title.
It is a high-profile purchase, and a sign of how Arsenal have come under manager Mikel Arteta sporting director Edu.
However, AFCTV have decided to release one of the stranger videos you will see today, with their own version of 'Ice Ice Baby'.
