News on Arsenal transfers: Luke Shaw and England manager Gareth Southgate both appear to have hinted at a Declan Rice transfer.
Prior to Granit Xhaka's departure and the potential departure of Thomas Partey, Arsenal had already made plans to replace a critical position in the middle of the pitch. The international player from Switzerland had already consented to the transfer by the end of May; however, details would not be confirmed until Arsenal had signed a replacement midfielder.
Partey may leave Emirates Stadium to take on a fresh challenge with Xhaka, according to transfer guru Fabrizio Romano. Romeo Lavia of Southampton has been mentioned as a potential alternative, although the Gunners will face competition from Chelsea for his services.
Although they are in comparable circumstances, Arsenal's chase of Rice, which is anticipated to ramp up next week, is unaffected by Lavia's pursuit. Although Rice is presently abroad with England on international duty, the transfer rumours have continued, with Three Lions manager Gareth Southgate playfully disclosing what is happening behind the scenes. Before England's match against North Macedonia, he said in a news conference: "The players are tapping each other up on the quiet anyway, I can't do anything about it." The newest transfer craze involving Rice and Manchester United star Luke Shaw was prompted by a number of images and gestures that have already caused numerous transfer frenzies.
Harry Styles is now using Wembley Stadium, therefore Old Trafford will serve as the site for Monday's game, which caused Shaw to obliquely suggest a transfer. Shaw posed for shots with Harry Kane and Sammy Rice before adding the images to his Instagram story with the caption "Carrington Tour" (eyes emoji), as the England team trains in Manchester while they are in town to play.
Although it seems unlikely, United has been linked to moves for both Rice and Kane this summer. Shaw nevertheless made a suggestion that the two might relocate to Manchester along with several other members of the England team.
