Arsenal remain firm favourites to sign Declan Rice despite having an opening offer rejected. The Gunners submitted an opening bid of £80million plus at least £10million in add-ons which was rejected by the East London club, football.london understands.
Manchester City are believed to hold on an interest in Rice too and could join the race for the England international. If the Gunners were to lose out on yet another priority target, sporting director Edu will have to again pivot to another target to strengthen the midfield.
There are a number of potential options for the Gunners with varying levels of age, expense and availability. football.london takes a look at the potential options available to the Gunners.
