If there's one area of Arsenal's first-team squad that is set for a major overhaul this summer, it's midfield.
In terms of additions, football.london understands Declan Rice is Mikel Arteta's priority target and whilst a formal bid is expected to be submitted following the West Ham United vs Fiorentina Europa Conference League final, the Gunners accept it will ultimately come down to the player to decide his next move amid interest from Bayern Munich and Manchester United.
The England international is seen as a replacement for Granit Xhaka who, after seven years of service, is expected to bid farewell to the Emirates Stadium this summer and return to Germany as football.london understands he's in advanced talks over a £13million transfer to Bayer Leverkusen.
