The transfer fate of Declan Rice and Moises Caicedo appears to be intertwined this summer as they look set to leave West Ham and Brighton respectively. The former looks more set for a move to Arsenal in the coming weeks of the window, despite Chelsea's long-term admiration.
football.london understands that the Gunners view Rice as a top priority in the transfer market, but won't be drawn into a bidding war. The north London club made their opening gambit for the 24-year-old, offering an £80million package - combined of £70million in guaranteed fees and £10million in add-ons - that was turned down.
Arsenal are expected to be back with an offer soon, though recent reports have sparked the possibility of a Chelsea hijack in the weeks to come. Aside from the England international, there's also been plenty of links with a switch for both clubs with Brighton star Caicedo.
