Although Wednesday's MLS All-Star Game from the nation's capital will feature all the league's must-watch talent (minus Lionel Messi) and Arsenal's flourishing squad, the biggest cheer of the night might be reserved for a Gunners player who spent last season in France and who might not even be on the roster come September: instant USMNT hero Folarin Balogun.
Arsenal have signed Declan Rice on a long-term contract from West Ham United, the north London club said on Saturday, with manager Mikel Arteta describing the England international as an "exceptional talent".
Financial details of the transfer were not disclosed but British media reported that the fee for the midfielder was $137.45 million, making it a record transfer between two British clubs.
"He is a player with tremendous ability, who has been performing at a high level in the Premier League and for England for a number of seasons now," Arteta said in a statement.

Harry Kane has won a trophy — a trophy in the game of life by successfully eating 10 increasingly spicy wings on "Hot Ones" and living to tell the tale.
His people missed a pretty big opportunity to announce a transfer to Bayern Munich while sweating profusely and with tears in his eyes after eating wing #10, so if you're a Tottenham supporter you've got nothing to worry about.
For the rest of you, I know what you've come to see: Harry Kane's facial reactions.
Wing #1: Classic hot sauce

It's that time of year again. The time when we're left absolutely stunned by the wizardry of some 20-year-old at Real Madrid or Manchester United who's been handed his first serious minutes on a scorching July night at MetLife Stadium, so we write articles about how 2023-24 is going to be his oyster and then we never see him again.
You don't want to miss it, so here's a complete TV guide for summer soccer friendlies 2023 in the USA and Mexico.
Christian Pulisic made his roughly $24 million move from Chelsea to AC Milan official on Wednesday signing a four-year contract with the Rossoneri. With his transfer complete we felt it was appropriate to look at a potential AC Milan starting XI 2023-24 lineup.
Milan manager Stefano Pioli has said that he has a different plan than Chelsea as to where Pulisic will play. Pioli plans to use the American star in the No. 10 role as an attacking midfielder rather than on the wings.
Christian Pulisic's days of misery at Chelsea are over. The USMNT talisman will join AC Milan on a permanent deal in the next few days.
Transfer guru Fabrizio Romano confirmed the news on Twitter.

I'll have you know that I consider myself the MLS All-Star Skills Challenge-meister.
