Arsenal could take advantage of a new market this summer with a handful of USMNT stars set for transfers away. With the midfield an area of priority, the American contingent of emergent players is attracting gazes from across Europe.
It is a highly saturated market right now with elite targets across the continent including Declan Rice, Moises Caicedo, Romeo Lavia, Mason Mount and Alexis Mac Allister all set for moves. Arsenal have shown their own admiration for each of these but have settled on Rice as the number one, football.london understands.
The 24-year-old could command upwards of £70m despite having just over 12 months left on his contract. It would be a big price to pay for the player and raises the possibility of the Gunners breaking their transfer record for him. If Rice proves to be unattainable, there is a cheaper set of players to go after.
