Arsenal suffered a major blow in the transfer window following Chelsea’s acquisition of Mykhailo Mudryk from Shakhtar Donetsk. The Gunners were advanced in their negotiations before the Blues hijacked a deal.

The situation has left the Gunners needing to search for alternatives. A new winger has been at the top of Mikel Arteta’s wishlist since the summer transfer window.

It was bittersweet for Arsenal that their London stole their main target. However, Edu has an excellent chance to gain the perfect revenge in the summer transfer window.

Arsenal have made Declan Rice their “top target” for the summer transfer window, according to the Times. The Gunners continue to be linked with opportunities to strengthen their midfield, with the report claiming that there is a “growing confidence” they could get a deal done to land the 24-year-old, with West Ham expecting to demand £100million for the midfielder.

It is well known that Chelsea have held long-term interest in signing Rice from West Ham, having previously had the midfielder as an academy prospect years ago. Reports as recent as last month claim that the Blues had been in the lead to land the England star in the transfer window over their rivals

This creates a perfect chance for Arsenal to get their Mudryk revenge by signing the England international. Edu has a key tool in achieving this as Champions League football be used in negotiations.

While on World Cup duty with England, Rice admitted that he wants to play in the Champions League, further hinting at a transfer move: “100% I want to play in the Champions League. For the last two or three years I’ve been saying that.

“I’ve been playing consistently well for my club and I feel like I really want to keep pushing. I see my friends here who are playing Champions League and for big trophies. You only get one career and at the end you want to look back at what you’ve won and the biggest games you’ve played in.”

Arsenal currently sit at the top of the Premier League with an eight-point margin, whereas Chelsea are currently 10 points away from a Champions League qualification spot.
