Declan Rice is set to make the next step in his career this summer with many top clubs interested in him.
The midfielder will make his final appearance for West Ham in next Wednesday’s Europa Conference League final.
But his next club now looks nailed on to be Arsenal with the competition for his signature starting to significantly narrow down.
Arsenal strong favourites to sign Rice
Arsenal are now thought to be very strong favourites to sign Declan Rice, according to Claret and Hugh.
The Gunners have held extensive talks with the midfielder’s agent.
The 24-year-old is also keen to remain in the capital giving them the edge over other clubs.
Mauricio Pochettino is working on other targets, whilst Rice does not want to move to the Bundesliga.
Now, a move to the Emirates may only be halted by a late move from either Manchester United or Manchester City.
