Arsenal confident of beating Manchester United to £90m rated midfielder

As reported previously by Pulse Sports,  Declan Rice is Arsenal’s first-choice target ahead of next season and Mikel Arteta has reportedly urged the club to break the bank to acquire his services. 

According to the Telegraph, Manchester United are also monitoring the situation with a view to engaging in the bidding process. 

However, the report states that Arsenal are favourites at this stage to land the England international and have even begun discussions with West Ham as Arteta looks to reshape his midfield for next season.

West Ham will not sell Rice for less than £90m and will insist on having a large chunk of that paid upfront.

The Gunners were so close to glory this year but watched it all slip away during a few weeks of inexplicable collapse.
