Arsenal have been given a further boost to their chances of signing Declan Rice this summer following a transfer decision made by main rivals for his signature Bayern Munich. The Bundesliga champions are keen admirers of Rice with manager Thomas Tuchel going as far as calling the 24-year-old to explain how he is the perfect midfielder for their project.
Despite their eagerness to bring Rice to Allianz Arena, the Gunners still currently lead the summer race to acquire his services with Manchester United also trailing behind. Following West Ham's historic Europa Conference League triumph on Wednesday evening, the love Rice has for the club was clear to see as he broke into tears after the final whistle.
While a move to a bigger club is on the table, no one could begrudge Rice if he made the decision to fulfil the Hammers supporters' wish and stay for one more year. However, club chairman David Sullivan has practically confirmed an imminent sale this summer is likely.
