Arsenal are set to face significant competition from Manchester United this summer in the race to prise Declan Rice away from West Ham.
After months of speculation, the Hammers captain is expected to leave the London Stadium once the current campaign concludes. And the Gunners have emerged as the favourites to clinch the England midfielder's signature in recent weeks.
However, a deal is unlikely to be straightforward. West Ham are expected to demand more than £100million to part with their talisman - and rival clubs are ready to throw a spanner in the works if the Gunners hesitate once the transfer window opens.
