Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal could face a late attempt from Erik ten Hag’s Manchester United to sign Declan Rice from David Moyes’s West Ham United.
Football Transfers are reporting this morning that Arsenal are progressing well in their quest to sign Manchester United target Declan Rice from London and Premier League rivals West Ham United in the summer transfer window.
The report has claimed that Arsenal are confident of getting a deal done, with Rice preferring a move to the Gunners to joining other teams who are interested in him.
However, according to the report, there is the prospect of a late move from Manchester United.
Although the Red Devils are “not starting from a position of strength”, the former Premier League and UEFA Champions League winners “are offering a late threat to Arsenal’s hopes of landing Rice”.
Worrying for Arsenal in quest to sign Manchester United target Declan Rice
In our view, that Manchester United could make a late move for Declan Rice is worrying for Arsenal in their attempt to sign the West Ham United midfielder in the summer transfer window.
Yes, Rice prefers Arsenal, but things could change in the coming weeks.
After all, Manchester United are arguably the biggest club in England who will play in the UEFA Champions League next season and will aim to win the Premier League title.
Under manager Erik ten Hag, the Red Devils are a rising force again, and things are looking very bright.
A move to Old Trafford could be very appealing to Rice, described as “phenomenal” by his former West Ham teammate Mark Noble in The Manchester Evening News this month.
Moreover, Manchester United could offer West Ham more money than Arsenal for the England international midfielder.
