Man City 'hoping to hijack' Arsenal pursuit of Declan Rice and other transfer rumours

Declan Rice could move to Manchester City this summer, with the West Ham captain attracting the attentions of some of the world's biggest clubs - and Pep Guardiola's side have now reportedly entered the race.

According to the Daily Star, City are eyeing the England midfielder as Pep Guardiola looks to overhaul his midfield this summer, with Ilkay Gundogan yet to sign a new deal at the club and Kalvin Phillips having struggled to earn regular game time since his move from Leeds. The report claims that Phillips could be offered as Rice's replacement at West Ham, which could provide City with an advantage over their rivals.

Rice is also being tipped with a move to join clubs like Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool with his impressive World Cup confirming his status as an elite midfielder at international level.
