According to Sky Sports, Premier League rivals Arsenal are expected to submit a bid for Chelsea transfer target Declan Rice this summer.

The report adds: “Internal discussions at the Emirates Stadium are continuing over the possibility of signing the England midfielder, who was of interest to the Gunners back in January.

“Rice has a ‘gentleman’s agreement’ that he can move in the summer – provided West Ham receive an offer worth £120m, be that in a transfer fee or a transfer fee plus players.

“Rice has one year left on his contract at West Ham – with the option of a further year.”
