Arsenal face a crucial week in their transfer pursuit of Declan Rice with a third bid set to officially arrive soon. Manchester City stepping up their interest has resulted in the Gunners needing to ensure a new proposal comes close to West Ham's demands in order to get the deal over the line with Rice's preference still said to be Emirates Stadium.
Despite Man City, off the back of a treble, likely being favourites for his signature, football.london understands that the Gunners will beat them to Rice if they either table an offer that exceeds £100million or one which guarantees a significant fee to be paid upfront.
