Arsenal could find an advantage in the pursuit of Declan Rice this summer, with West Ham manager David Moyes reportedly open to a potential swap deal to fill the void left by the England international's departure.
The Gunners are believed to be the leading candidates to sign Rice, with the Athletic reporting on Monday that the club are keen to reunite the midfielder with his former Chelsea academy teammate and childhood friend Mason Mount in north London. They are expected to face competition from Manchester United to secure a deal for Rice.
Rice has just a year left on his contract at the London Stadium, with the Hammers having the option to extend his deal for another year. However, there now appears to have been an acceptance at the club that Rice's future lies elsewhere, with the prospect of delivering the Europa Conference League trophy as a parting gift to Irons fans.
