Martin Keown believes that Arsenal will have to rethink their pursuit of Declan Rice - as the West Ham midfielder would cost the Gunners too much money.
Mikel Arteta has overseen a remarkable season and is expected to be handed a significant summer transfer budget after ending Arsenal's six-year exile from the Champions League.
Recent reports have indicated the Spaniard is keen to bolster his midfield options, with Rice emerging as the Gunners' top target. West Ham are resigned to losing their talisman but are likely to demand a British-record transfer fee for his services - meaning the 24-year-old could end up costing in excess of £100million.
