Man City join big money battle for West Ham captain Rice

Manchester City are eyeing a move for West Ham skipper Declan Rice in the summer transfer window.

The Citizens are ready to make a change to their midfield this summer, with Ilkay Gundogan out of contract.

If the German chooses to move on, given he has been offered a two year deal by Barcelona, The Mail states that City would want to sign a big name replacement.

One possibility is Chelsea's Mateo Kovacic, given he would be a similar profile to Gundogan.

However, the club may also go for all action midfielder Rice, who is seen as someone who can still improve a lot at the age of 24.

Rice would be much more expensive, given he is wanted by Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal, and other top teams.
