Arsenal are confident of signing Declan Rice from West Ham this summer but will have to pay around €80 million to do so.
The 24-year-old England international has been on their radar for some time and is their top transfer target.
With 39 caps and a wealth of experience with his boyhood club Chelsea, Rice fits the Gunners’ recruitment model perfectly.
Arsenal’s confidence has grown after they increased their lead at the top of the Premier League table following Sunday’s north London derby.
Bukayo Saka, Eddie Nketiah and Thomas Partey would be set to compete with Rice for a spot in Arteta’s starting line-up if he joins the club this summer.
To make room for Rice, Arsenal may be forced to miss out on Ivan Fresnoeda and the return of Mickhyal Mudryk which were both goals for this transfer window due to current financial restraints.
