Arsenal's pursuit of West Ham midfielder Declan Rice may be made easier by the Hammers' own interest in a Gunners player this summer transfer window. football.london understands that Arsenal have made the 24-year-old their top priority for the upcoming market in hopes of revamping the midfield.
A move for Brighton midfielder Moises Caicedo was made in January, but failed as Mikel Arteta added Jorginho to the ranks for the short-term, with plenty of experience. Caicedo has once again been linked alongside Mason Mount as potential options, but at this stage, Rice seems the most likely option.
A report from the Mirror claims that the West Ham captain has already decided upon making the switch to the Emirates Stadium next season amid interest from Manchester United and Chelsea too. It would provide a major breakthrough in the deal being agreed with the player on board.
