The Arsenal player West Ham reportedly want to be involved in any Declan Rice deal
West Ham’s Declan Rice is set to snub Manchester United and Bayern Munich in favour of Arsenal in a transfer that could see a player go in the opposite direction, according to fresh reports.
The 24-year-old West Ham captain has been linked to various world-class clubs over the past year due to his consistent performances in a Hammers shirt. It was reported by The Sun yesterday that the West Ham board would only entertain bids worth a British-record of £110million if they were to sell the midfielder.
Rice has reportedly got ‘his heart set on a transfer to Arsenal’, according to The Sun, but David Moyes would prefer Emile Smith Rowe to come in the other direction in a shock swap deal for the talented midfielder, which would see the requested £110m fee reduced.
As per Transfermarkt, Smith Rowe is currently valued at £33m.
Declan Rice’s future
According to The Sun, an insider told them: “West Ham know they are in a strong position with this deal which is why targeting a talent like Emile Smith Rowe has become part of the conversation at the club.
