Arsenal transfer round-up: Declan Rice delay explained as star drops exit hint

Arsenal fans can barely believe what they are seeing this summer, with Mikel Arteta operating like a man on a mission in the transfer market.

Ex-Chelsea man Kai Havertz has already been signed to the tune of £65million, while confirmation of Declan Rice's arrival is expected sometime next week. If the deal goes through for the West Ham captain, it will ensure Rice becomes the most expensive footballer in British history as the Gunners have forked out £105m to land his signature.

Having missed out on the title in such heartbreaking fashion last season, Arteta is clearly going hell for leather to try and ensure Arsenal go one better next term and overcome the might of reigning champions Manchester City to win their first league title in 20 years.
