It has been claimed that Bayern Munich boss Thomas Tuchel is interested in pulling off a transfer for Arsenal target Declan Rice.

Even David Moyes admitted on Saturday via Sky Sports that there is a ‘good chance’ that the 24-year-old leaves West Ham this summer.

While a transfer to Arsenal seemed like it was on the cards for Declan Rice, Bayern Munich tactician Thomas Tuchel is seemingly keen as well.

While Rice has been criticised at times due to a decline in his displays in the ongoing campaign, there is a near-unanimous belief that he is the real deal.

Whether it be as a defensive midfielder or in a more advanced box-to-box role, the England international, branded as ‘phenomenal’ by Mark Noble via Manchester Evening News simply brings so much to the table.

As per the latest revelation by journalist Christian Falk, Bayern manager Thomas Tuchel is ‘interested’ in getting a transfer over the line for Arsenal target Declan Rice.

However, the Bundesliga champions are aware that a deal would be unlikely to execute due to the number of English sides interested in his signature.

While English players tend to gravitate towards playing in the Premier League, perhaps Declan Rice would have been tempted to work under Thomas Tuchel at Bayern instead of opting for a transfer to Arsenal.

Luckily, the English top-flight from a financial standpoint sits right at the top, which means one of the world’s biggest clubs can also be blown out of the water.

Mikel Arteta’s side would be over the moon, as with rumours circulating about Granit Xhaka’s potential exit, they will be in dire need of a replacement.

In Declan Rice, who has looked at his monstrous best further forward in the past, that left-sided role in midfield could make him the perfect candidate to replace the Swiss international.
