Arsenal will submit an opening bid for West Ham United captain Declan Rice next month, according to transfer guru Fabrizio Romano.
Rice is the Gunners' priority target for the summer window, football.london understands as Mikel Arteta looks to bolster his midfield options at the end of the current campaign. However, the Spaniard is not the only one that wants to prise the England international away from the London Stadium.
Both Manchester United and Chelsea have been heavily linked with a move in recent times, although as per the Mirror, the player is ready to make it clear he favours a summer transfer to the Emirates Stadium. The north Londoners are said to have put in a large amount of groundwork into ensuring they land the Hammers skipper this summer, making them his favoured choice at this moment in time.
