West Ham United captain Declan Rice is one of Arsenal's primary transfer targets ahead of the summer window, football.london understands.
The Gunners are keen to bolster their midfield options, with first-choice No.6 Thomas Partey injury prone whilst Granit Xhaka and Jorginho are 30-years-old and 31, respectively. Over the weekend, Rice showed that he is certainly Arsenal material after the Hammers were defeated 2-0 by London rivals Tottenham Hotspur.
The England international was outraged by his teammates after a number of West Ham players tried to walk off the pitch without going over to the away fans to clap them. The 24-year-old rounded his teammates, telling them to go over and show their appreciation for Hammers supporters who had gone to N17.
