Arsenal believe they can win the battle for Declan Rice's signature by quadrupling the England international's West Ham salary.
Rice, 24, is expected to leave the Hammers in the summer after expressing a desire to play Champions League football in the near future. A number of clubs have been linked with the midfielder in recent months, including Chelsea and Manchester United.
Arsenal have already booked their spot in next season's Champions League, which will interest Rice. He is unlikely to sign a new contract with West Ham, who could be forced to cash in on their prized asset before his existing deal expires in June 2025.
