West Ham skipper Declan Rice is at the top of Arsenal's summer wishlist as Mikel Arteta looks to bring in midfield reinforcements.

The 24-year-old remains desperate to play in the Champions League and could force a move away from the Hammers to achieve this.

And with the Gunners set to return to Europe's elite competition next season, they may tempt the East Londoners into selling their star man.

The Telegraph suggest that the Premier League leaders will face competition from Chelsea and Manchester United but David Moyes will demand over £100million for his No41.

Rice has helped lead West Ham to the Europa Conference League semi-finals this term and could become the club's third captain to lift European silverware.

It would be a fitting end to his tenure in East London and would allow the powerhouse to leave on good terms with the fans.

The 41-cap international has just one year remaining on his contract and could leave for free at the end of the next campaign should the Hammers refuse to sanction his departure.

But with so many clubs keen on the academy graduate, it seems increasingly likely that Rice will move on in the coming months.
