FORGOTTEN HISTORY: Arsenal given hope in declan rice transfer race as 86m man city plan unfolds | History Defined

Manchester City may be set to hand Arsenal a boost in the battle to sign Declan Rice.

Pep Guardiola’s side pipped the Gunners to the league title last season as part of their treble-winning campaign and have now joined the Gunners in pursuing West Ham captain Rice. Man City are yet to submit a bid but have held talks over a possible move for the England midfielder.

Arsenal have seen their second bid of £75million, plus £15million in add-ons, rejected by the Hammers, who are reportedly hoping for a fee closer to £100million. However, it appears that the Gunners could be given an easier path to landing a deal for Rice as Man City’s other transfer plans unfold.
