Arsenal are said to have made Declan Rice their no.1 target for the summer transfer window, with the West Ham captain nearing an exit. The England international has continued to impress across all competitions for club and country but with a dwindling contract, a move is likely.
"They are a top team," Rice said earlier this season when asked about the Gunners. "You can see they are coached incredibly well, have a lot of attacking talent, a young squad and they can go the whole way for sure."
It's a glowing review and clearly shows the steps Arsenal have made in recent seasons, especially being able to target a player like Rice. However, one question that will be pondered is whether the Gunners will want to push out a club-record transfer bid, with reports claiming a price of £100million has been set - with the current record standing at £72million for Nicolas Pepe.
