Arsenal have been told they could sign West Ham captain Declan Rice for a lower fee than Hammers boss David Moyes has suggested, according to the Daily Express.
The England midfielder’s current deal at the London Stadium expires in 2024 and he has rejected an extension – with Arsenal, Chelsea, Man Utd and Man City reportedly interested in signing the 24-year-old.
