Arsenal are reportedly getting closer and closer to completing a deal to sign Declan Rice from West Ham United this summer.
The Gunners look like they will fall short in the Premier League title race.
They have been magnificent this season, but Manchester City are on a different level, which shows there is still a lot of room for improvement.
The summer transfer window gives Arsenal an opportunity to close that gap between themselves and the champions
Arsenal have been heavily linked with a move to sign Declan Rice for a few months now.It is no secret at all that the Gunners’ priority this summer is a new central midfielder.
They may even sign two players in that position with Granit Xhaka set to leave the club.
Rice is the priority target for Mikel Arteta and the Englishman would be fantastic.
He’s good enough to play for almost every top club in the country and the Gunners will surely face competition for his signature.
However, , sources claim that Rice would take them to a whole new level and will be very helpful to arsenal.
Negotiations for Rice are ‘ closer to completion’ and the star is looking ‘ more likely’ to become a Gunner.
That is massive news for the North Londoners, whose midfield will be sorted for the better part of the next decade if they can get Rice before the start of the new season
The Englishman hasn’t had his best season for West Ham this time around but he has been excellent ,
And is on the verge of leading the Irons to the final of the UEFA Conference League.
