Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta wants to hold talks with Declan Rice about signing for his club in the summer.

The West Ham United midfielder is one of the hottest properties on the Premier League market at present.

Even though his side appear likely to avoid relegation, Rice wants to leave for Champions League football.

Per The Mirror, Gunners boss Arteta wants to find out if he can sign the England international as soon as possible.

The 24-year-old wants to stay in London and is said to be keen on a move to Arsenal.

However, the likes of Manchester United, Chelsea, Manchester City, and others may provide competition.
