Arsenal have already begun their preparations for the 2023/24 campaign by making Declan Rice their top target for the summer transfer window. Mikel Arteta's side are on course to win their first Premier League title since 2004 and will be hoping to continue the upwards trajectory next campaign.
The Times have reported today (Monday) that the West Ham skipper is Edu's No 1 target ahead of the summer, with the club said to be keen on beating Chelsea to his signature. The revelation comes shortly after their London rivals hijacked the Gunners' deal for Mykhailo Mudryk with a £88million deal.
Rice has strongly been linked with a move to Stamford Bridge over recent years after becoming one of the Premier League's best holding midfielders at the London Stadium. The 24-year-old was part of the Cobham academy ranks alongside Mason Mount before leaving in 2014.
