As Manchester City and Arsenal prepare to do battle for Declan Rice, the midfielder's comments about England colleague Phil Foden have come into focus.
Rice appears to favour a move to Arsenal over a City switch, as he prepares to leave West Ham after more than 200 Premier League appearances for the club. The Gunners have seen an initial bid rejected, though, potentially allowing Pep Guardiola's side to challenge their rivals for the 24-year-old.
The Hammers captain is currently away on international duty, with Arsenal star Bukayo Saka and City favourite Foden also among those involved. Rice has taken on both as club opponents on plenty of occasions, but one of the two could become a team-mate next term.
