Arsenal Under-18s coach Jack Wilshere believes the club hold an advantage in the race for West Ham captain Declan Rice – as he can one day be skipper for Mikel Arteta’s side.
The Gunners are reportedly willing to break their transfer record to pay £90million to West Ham and offer Rice £300,000-a-week. Rice is their number one priority, but the North London club will face plenty of competition for his services.
The 24-year-old held talks with Bayern Munich chiefs last week, as the Germans champions’ manager Thomas Tuchel hopes to make him his new midfield linchpin. Although discussions with the German giants were positive, it is believed that the player’s is to remain in the Premier League.
