Declan Rice looks set to be one of the most coveted players in the summer transfer window as Europe's top clubs look to bolster their midfield options. The 24-year-old has been heavily linked with an exit from West Ham for some time now as he continues to impress for club and country.
Despite the arrival of Jorginho on deadline day, football.london understand that Arsenal still hold a strong interest in Rice. However, it's also understood that the England international remains a key target for the Blues as well.
Rice is under contract at the London Stadium until 2024, with the east Londoners holding the option to extend his tenure by a further year. With the Hammers captain tied down to a reasonably long-term deal, David Moyes' side appear confident that the former Chelsea academy prospect will not leave despite speculation over his future.
