News on Arsenal transfers: David Moyes has already contacted Declan Rice about a transfer to Manchester City, and Arsenal is also intrigued.
Despite having two bids rejected so far, football.london believes that Rice remains a top priority target for the Gunners. The initial proposal was for a package worth £80 million, after which a second offer of £ 90 million with add-ons was put up but rejected.
Personal conditions have already been agreed upon, resulting in a deal with the Hammers still needing to be finalised, but the door has been left open for City due to the rejection of other offers. It was alleged that Pep Guardiola's team had made an opening offer, but football.london believes that to be premature.
Football.london is aware that Rice would choose to join Arsenal over Man City should either team submit a bid that West Ham accepts. Though he is capable of playing at centre defence, in a deeper midfield position, or in a more advanced position, it is unclear where he would fit in either system. Declan is constantly becoming better, and his current manager, Moyes, thinks that's something any Premier League squad can achieve. Although he is still young and has a long way to go, he is getting better. He has won the opportunity to represent England, and every time he has done so, he has changed. He has gained greater self-assurance and knowledge of his sport.
His leadership skills and other qualities will get better with age and time. But overall, he's done a great job. Declan was able to play for any team. There's no denying that. He can perform in a variety of roles. If needed, he could readily step in as a defender. He was capable of playing as an offensive midfielder. He could make a No. 6 defender. He is capable of playing many various parts.
