Arsenal's summer transfer business is starting to accelerate as the Gunners look to make a number of moves that will ideally strengthen them for next season. The north London side made an unexpected push for the Premier League title last season, but narrowly missed out to Manchester City.
With ambitions of going one step further next campaign, along with improvements in both domestic competitions and a return to the Champions League on the cards, there are plenty of additions that could provide an impact. football.london understands that Declan Rice is the top priority for Arsenal, who have seen an opening offer - worth a total of £80million - rejected by West Ham with further bids expected.
On top of the Hammers captain, a move for Chelsea forward Kai Havertz appears to have picked up traction quickly in the transfer window. football.london understands that interest from the Gunners is genuine, though they won't match the £70million valuation set by their London rivals.
