Bayern Munich powerbroker Uli Hoeness admits he's a fan of Arsenal midfielder Declan Rice.

But he insists Bayern would never have paid the money Arsenal did to West Ham to sign the England international.

He told FAZ: “Last Sunday I watched Arsenal's game against Liverpool.

"With Rice, I consciously looked at him, he's a very good player, but with all due respect: I wouldn't spend 120 million euros on him even today.

"We as FC Bayern simply cannot afford that."
