Arsenal transfer news LIVE: Declan Rice has heart set on Gunners EXCLUSIVE, Gundogan TWIST, West Ham eye Smith Rowe


EXCLUSIVE: Rice has heart set on Arsenal move

Declan Rice has his heart set on a move to Arsenal, SunSport understands. 

But West Ham are believed to be interested in the idea of a deal involving Emile Smith Rowe moving the opposite way. 

Sources say David Moyes is a “big fan” of Smith-Rowe but that Mikel Arteta is reluctant to sell him.

Our insider said: “West Ham know they are in a strong position with this deal which is why targeting a talent like Emile Smith Rowe has become part of the conversation at the club. 

“Nobody can replace Declan Rice, but David Moyes is a big fan of Smith Rowe and thinks he could really help the team as they rebuild and plan for life after Declan Rice.

“For a long period Smith Rowe was one of Arsenal’s best players but he has fallen down the pecking order a little bit. He won’t be a starter next season but Arsenal aren’t keen to lose the player.

“However, if it means getting Rice and keeping him away from Bayern Munich and Manchester United, it could ultimately end up being a road they are forced to go down. Rice is there main summer target.”

And in a boost for the Gunners, Rice is apparently desperate for the move to go through. 

The source added: “Right now Declan is in a very strong position, but Arsenal is the move he really wants. 

“He likes the journey the club is on and the role he could potentially play in helping them to move to the next level. 

“Going abroad at this stage of his career isn’t on his mind. He thinks he’s already playing in the best league in the world. Why would he want to leave?”
