Arsenal and Manchester City are currently locked in an intense battle to sign West Ham United captain Declan Rice.
The Gunners have already seen two offers for Rice rebuffed by the Hammers this month, with a third expected to follow shortly. David Moyes' side are said to be demanding in the region of £100million for their skipper.
Now, City have entered the fray. football.london understands that the Premier League champions are preparing to make a bid for the England international. But one advantage Mikel Arteta's side have in negotiations is the fact they are based in London, where Rice was born and raised.
