“I introduced Declan Rice to Nigerians. Before I sang about him, nobody knew about him. It was after I sang about him that he blew up, and Arsenal discovered and signed him for over 100 million.”
Rice joined Arsenal from West Ham United in July 2023 in a deal reportedly worth an initial £100 million, with a further £5 million in potential add-ons.
