Declan Rice looks set to have plenty of options in the summer transfer window as the West Ham captain looks set to depart east London. Chelsea were seen as the obvious option, given the Blues' previous interest in bringing Rice and their need for a major midfield rebuild, however Arsenal have now firmly thrown their hat into the transfer battle.
Despite a transfer to Chelsea likely making the most sense, the Gunners have made Rice their top target for next summer and the club are said to be 'growing in confidence' that they can beat their London rivals to the midfielder's signature at the end of the season, according to The Times.
Moises Caicedo, Jude Bellingham and Enzo Fernandez are all on Chelsea's radar, which could mean missing out on Rice is not a significant blow with the amount of quality alternatives identified.
