Reputable Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano claims that Arsenal will make acquiring Declan Rice a top priority during the next summer transfer season. Arsenal are getting ready to make a first offer for the West Ham United captain. Also, next month, they want to start talking with another Premier League team.
Since his breakthrough with West Ham United, Declan Rice has become one of the top midfielders in the world. The English national spent the first few years of his professional career experimenting with several positions before settling on his current one. He’s been a center defender, a holding midfielder, and everything in between, and now he’s finally settled into a position where he can really excel.
Negotiations between Arsenal and West Ham United for the transfer of their captain, Declan Rice, have been set for the month of June
Meanwhile, the 24-year-old’s worth increased to €80 million when he first entered the market. The Premier League club’s star player now also serves as the club’s captain. Meanwhile, Rice has contributed 14 goals and 13 assists in roughly 250 games with the Hammers. The player’s development has drawn interest from numerous elite teams, including Arsenal.

However, he is eager to try something new during the summer transfer window. Bayer Leverkusen is very close to signing him.
Therefore, Arsenal should make a concerted effort during the next summer transfer window to acquire a first-rate central midfielder. To prepare for the 2023–24 season, the Gunners are focusing on acquiring Declan Rice. Arsenal, according to recent rumors, is also interested in signing the 24-year-old forward from West Ham. In addition, they are putting the finishing touches on their first offer to give to the other Premier League team.
The 24-year-old has been courted by almost every major Premier League club
According to Romano, Arsenal will wait until the conclusion of the season to begin discussions so as not to interfere with West Ham’s season. To sign Rice, they will need to offer more than €80 million, his estimated market worth. When the summer transfer market opens, Rice will be courted by a number of major clubs, not only Arsenal. The 24-year-old has been courted by almost every major Premier League club. It would be intriguing to watch whether Arsenal is able to outbid its competitors and win the bidding war for his services after they submit their first offer to West Ham.
Arsenal have received a significant boost in their pursuit of Moises Caicedo. The club has been interested in signing him for some time. It seems like they will be successful this summer. Throughout his time with the Seagulls, Caicedo has consistently been a top performer. He has been the rock of Roberto De Zerbi’s squad and has done very well thus far this season.
