Cringefest! AFTV posts hilarious Declan Rice joining video, fans left unimpressed

After months of speculation surrounding his future, Declan Rice will finally join last season's Premier League runners-up Arsenal on a long-term contract.

The West Ham midfielder has signed for the North London club on a £105 million deal, a record British fee.

Declan Rice is regarded as one of the best talents to come out of England recently. Unsurprisingly the 24-year-old England international's arrival has produced an extravaganza among the Gunners.

The popular Youtube fan channel, Arsenal Fan TV aka AFTV also was not far behind in celebrating it. AFTV has a huge following of 822,000 followers on Twitter and 1.56m subscribers on YouTube.



They have been pretty involved in everything related to Arsenal and often have remained contentious for them as well. Nevertheless, among the fans they have been pretty prevalent.

AFTV in their special way announced the signing. AFTV performers sang over the top of 'Rice, Rice Baby' while playing a version of Vanilla Ice's 'Ice, Ice Baby'.

The video, directed by AFTV host and dancer Cecil Jee Thomas and shot outside the Emirates, has already gone popular on social media. Although the response so far has been pretty negative only.



Most of the fans have claimed the Video was a 'Cringefest' while some of them even urged AFTV to even delete it from the platform. A couple of them although praised the dance moves on the video.

Declan Rice is the third major signing for Arsenal this summer after they fell short of the league title to Manchester City last summer. Mikel Arteta has already spent close to £200m on Declan Rice, Jurrien Timber, and Kai Havertz.

A couple of more arrivals could also be anticipated. Southampton's Romeo Lavia and Bayer Leverkusen's Moussa Diaby have been linked with the North London side recently who are bracing for another potential title charge next season.
