Premier League rules guarantee eight Arsenal summer deals if Declan Rice completes £80m transfer

The January transfer window is open for another fortnight, but Arsenal are already turning their attention to the summer amid talk of a swoop for West Ham United midfielder Declan Rice.

According to The Times, the England international is expected to depart the London Stadium at the end of the season as he's been unwilling to sign an extension to his contract which expires in 2024 - with an option to extend for a further year - and could cost in the region of £80m.

In addition, whilst the report states that Chelsea and Manchester United are likely to provide competition for Rice's signature, Arsenal believe that their status as Premier League leaders puts them in a strong position to win the race - although in keeping with the club's transfer policy they won't overpay.
