In a bid to reinforce their midfield ahead of the next football season, Arsenal FC have set their sights on the promising young midfielder Declan Rice, and are gearing up to make their opening bid in June, sources reveal.

Rice, who has been in blistering form for his current Club, West Ham United, is known for his dynamic displays in the midfield and his versatility as a defensive or attacking player. Arsenal's interest in the English star is hardly surprising, as they look to bolster their squad with fresh talent and greater depth, with the hope of being more competitive in all competitions.

Although negotiations are yet to start, Arsenal fans have expressed their excitement at the prospect of having Rice on board. Some believe that Rice is the missing piece of the puzzle in the midfield that could unlock the club's potential and bring them back to their former glory days.

Arsenal FC, who have already begun making changes behind the scenes, have embarked on an ambitious project that aims to transform the club into a dominant force once again. Rice is a key target for the club's management and the first move they plan to make as they gear up for the next season.
