Arsenal can save £120m on Declan Rice deal with free transfer for the 'next Ilkay Gundogan'

Arsenal's summer transfer window looks set to be yet another big one, with the Gunners looking to build upon their return to form at the top of the Premier League table. Mikel Arteta will be hopeful of long-term success with plenty of title pushes and with Champions League football back at the Emirates Stadium, some switches may be required.

A fine balance of incomings and outgoings will need to be managed, though it appears at this stage that the area of focus for signings will be the midfield. football.london understands that Declan Rice is a top priority for the north London outfit heading into the summer transfer window.

The move could help them close the gap on their rivals, especially given the fact that Rice has just 12-months remaining on his contract. However, Sky Sports reports that the Hammers have set a huge £120million price tag on their captain, which may make him unattainable.
