Arsenal is reportedly interested in signing Declan Rice and Romeo Lavia to form a dream midfield pairing. While Southampton values Lavia at £45 million, Arsenal sees the Belgian as a better option than Moises Caicedo of Brighton. However, Arsenal could face competition from Manchester City for Lavia, who included a buyback in last summer’s £10.5 million move to the Saints.
Declan Rice is set to sign for Arsenal in the coming weeks, but the Gunners remain locked in talks over the transfer. Granit Xhaka and Thomas Partey are also linked with moves away from North London. West Ham wants more than the £106 million British record Chelsea paid Benfica for Enzo Fernandez, but it is expected that the two clubs will agree on a £100 million compromise, with the potential for a further £10 million in bonus payments and add-ons.
Rice is currently on England duty but will be on standby to confirm personal terms and undergo a medical from next week. He believes he fits perfectly into Mikel Arteta’s policy of building a team around hungry young players who can grow together for the next five or six years. The opportunity to play Champions League football is another huge incentive for the midfielder, who has been told he can leave West Ham after rejecting a new £200,000-a-week contract.
The Gunners are also being linked with a move for Chelsea’s Kai Havertz. The Germany international reportedly comes with a £70 million price tag, but Arsenal is hoping to sign him for less. It was claimed on Friday that Arteta’s men are now “very close” to agreeing a deal for the ex-Bayer Leverkusen man.
Arsenal faces Manchester City in the Community Shield on August 6 before getting their Premier League campaign underway six days later at home to Nottingham Forest. Granit Xhaka and Thomas Partey could both leave Arsenal this summer.
