Arsenal may pair Declan Rice with teenager Pep Guardiola dubbed "incredible"

By now, it is clear to just about everyone that Declan Rice is the first name on Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta's transfer wish-list this summer.

The Gunners have already seen one bid, worth £80million plus add-ons, rejected by West Ham and are thought to be in the process of putting together their second offer. It is widely believed that Arsenal are perfectly comfortable with the idea of paying north of £100m for the England international.

However, Rice is not the only man Arteta is keen on enticing to the Emirates this window. Chelsea forward Kai Havertz is also reportedly on his way, but the latest rumour suggest Rice's partner in the middle of the park next season will be Southampton's Romeo Lavia.
