Arsenal to make their first move to sign Declan Rice in June

Declan Rice could cost around £80m in the next transfer window.

Declan Rice is Arsenal’s main priority ahead of the summer transfer window. Transfer insider Dean Jones has told GIVEMESPORT, the Gunners could make their first move to sign West Ham United midfielder Declan Rice in June.

Kaya Kaynak of football.london recently told GIVEMESPORT that Rice is Arsenal’s priority for the midfield position.

Mikel Arteta still isn’t completely satisfied with his options in the middle of the park despite signing Jorginho in winter.

According to The Times, the Englishman could cost around £80m in the next transfer window.

Speaking to GIVEMESPORT, the journalist said: “They won’t let go of this without making a strong attempt at getting Declan Rice. It’s not yet clear when they’ll look to make their opening offer, but I would imagine it’s going to be around June time that they’ll look to make their first moves with this transfer, just so they understand exactly where they stand.”

Another reason why they should move quickly for Rice is because Chelsea also appear to have him on their radar.
