Mikel Arteta reveals transfer reservations that could scupper Declan Rice move

Arsenal's summer transfer window has gotten off to a stellar start with the signing of Kai Havertz all but confirmed, but it is Declan Rice who they want more than any other.

The West Ham captain is currently the subject of a bidding war between the Gunners and Manchester City, with the most recent offer submitted by Mikel Arteta's men late on Tuesday evening. That was Arsenal's third bid and thought to have been worth a British record fee of £100million plus £5m in add-ons.

It looks as if that could be enough to get a deal over the line, though Arsenal need to readjust the structure of the deal to suit West Ham's demands before they can really start to imagine Rice at the Emirates.
