Wes Ham United captain Declan Rice is favouring a move to Arsenal.

The midfielder is ready to leave West Ham at the end of the season, having resisted attempts to open new contract talks.

The Guardian says there is interest from Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester City and Manchester United.

But Rice's priority is Arsenal – before a club like Chelsea, where he played as a junior.

The opportunity to play under manager Mikel Arteta is a key reason for Rice's choice.

West Ham will demand over £100m to sell the England international at season's end.
