Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta is planning a complete revamp of his midfield ahead of a renewed Premier League title bid next season.
West Ham star Declan Rice is Arteta's top target and he has sold his vision to the 24-year-old, who has made Arsenal his preferred destination despite interest from Manchester City. Kai Havertz is also close to completing a £65m switch from Chelsea, with Arteta looking to utilise him as a No8 rather than the false nine role he typically played for the Blues.
Speaking earlier this week, Arteta opened up about his interest in signing Havertz, telling Spanish outlet Marca : "Talent comes at a price, and at Arsenal we are always interested in youngsters with experience.
