Mikel Arteta is looking to strengthen his squad this summer as Arsenal prepare for a return to Champions League football and another Premier League title bid.
West Ham midfielder Declan Rice is among their top targets, with Arteta keen to bring the England international to the Emirates. Rice is expected to be on the move this summer and has previously expressed his desire to play Champions League football, something Arsenal can now offer him with West Ham currently 15th after qualifying for Europe for the past two seasons.
"One hundred per cent I want to play in the Champions League," Rice said during the World Cup in Qatar. "For the last two or three years I've been saying that. I've been playing consistently well for my club and I feel like I really want to keep pushing.
