Arsenal's summer priority to sign Declan Rice is very clear with much of the early ground work already completed. Manchester United and Bayern Munich are also in the transfer race, but the Gunners currently lead the way and while that deal is taking up most of their time, plans for other targets are also in motion.
Despite some major Premier League transfers already being announced, a formal offer to West Ham for Rice from Arsenal has not yet been submitted. That is because of the Hammers' involvement in the Europa Conference League final on Wednesday evening which Rice's team won in dramatic fashion courtesy of a late Jarrod Bowen strike.
After the full time whistle and celebrations, Rice was interviewed by BT Sport where his future ahead of the summer window was discussed. "Look at the moment, there's obviously a lot of speculation going on about my future," he said. "Obviously there is interest from other clubs, that's out there, but ultimately I still have two-years left at West Ham.
