Declan Rice prefers Arsenal above the other options if he is permitted to leave West Ham United this summer. According to The Mirror, Declan Rice is now focused on helping West Ham United win the Europa Conference League, but if he is permitted to leave the club after that, his preferred destination is thought to be Arsenal.
This summer, the Gunners will have competition from Manchester United, but Rice has made it clear that he prefers an Arsenal transfer. Arsenal have already put in a lot of effort to make the deal happen, and Mikel Arteta knows exactly how Rice will fit into his team. That will always appeal to a gamer. Of course, the main impediment to the deal is reaching an agreement with West Ham on a transfer fee.
Although there is no proof that Arsenal has done so, the Mirror claims that the Hammers are likely to sell if their £100 million estimate is realized. The Gunners nevertheless think they are in a strong position to recruit the player.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Arsenal’s ambitions regarding Rice have not altered. He is still their top target, and they are planning a June attempt to sign him. As things now stand, Romano writes that bidders are waiting for West Ham to explain the exact price tag, implying that nothing has been done and the competition is still open to other teams.
Romano earlier stated that Arsenal is “very confident” about a move for Rice and believes “they are the frontrunners” in the competition. Arsenal is planning a £92 million proposal for the West Ham player and is presently negotiating the structure of what would be a club-record transfer price.
Arsenal Eyeing For West Ham’s Declan Rice
Although Arsenal are aware that Manchester United and other Premier League teams may possibly make offers for the 24-year-old midfielder, Arsenal has made Rice their priority transfer target. However, as part of a personnel shuffle, Arsenal has already made significant efforts to guarantee that the move occurs this summer.
Mikel Arteta, the manager of the Arsenal, has a plan for how he envisions Rice fitting in as he strives to rebuild his midfield during this transfer window. It is still necessary for Arsenal to reach an agreement with West Ham, which may be difficult given his high value.
But they feel they are in first place to land their man this summer. Talks will be postponed until after West Ham’s season concludes, which means waiting until June 7th if the Hammers reach the Europa Conference League final.
