Arsenal and Manchester City are locked in an intense battle to sign West Ham United captain Declan Rice.
The north Londoners have seen two offers for Rice rejected by the Hammers over the last couple of weeks. An opening offer of £80million plus at least £10million in add-ons was rebuffed last week before another bid, which remained under West Ham's £100million asking price, was turned down on Tuesday.
Now, football.london understands that City have entered the race to sign the England international, with Pep Guardiola's side preparing to make an offer. It remains to be seen who will pay West Ham what they want for the player and who he actually would prefer to move to.
