Arsenal's pursuit of Declan Rice has taken a fresh twist, but in truth, recent developments won't be anything new to Mikel Arteta and Edu Gaspar.
With the Gunners' manager looking to use the summer transfer window to bolster his midfield options ahead of next season, football.london understands the West Ham United captain is his priority signing, although there's unlikely to be any movement until after next week's Europa Conference League final.
Having said that, Manchester United and Bayern Munich could be obstacles for the north London outfit to overcome in order to land their top transfer target as reports claim the former are planning to hijack a move by offering Scott McTominay as part of a swap deal whilst Thomas Tuchel is said to be interested in bringing Rice to Germany.
