MORNING, ARSENAL FANS
Declan Rice and Granit Xhaka lead the transfer talk on possibly a make-or-break weekend for Arsenal’s title hopes.
And Arsenal have reportedly contacted Galatasaray full-back Sacha Boey ahead of a possible £10million deal.
West Ham boss David Moyes has accepted for the first time there is a “good chance” Rice will leave this summer.
The other good news for the Gunners over the £100m-rated England midfielder is that they remain favourites to sign him.
But the less positive spin is that both the Manchester giants, United and City, are now regarded as serious suitors.
Hammers skipper Rice, 24, is under contract until June 2024 with a club option to extend by a year – but has rejected contract extensions over the past 18 months.
Gunners’ manager Mikel Arteta has played down talk of current anchorman Xhaka departing, amid links to Bayer Leverkusen.
It comes as Newcastle and especially PSG are rated as rivals to Arsenal in signing Leverkusen winger Mousa Diaby.
On the pitch, the Gunners host Brighton in the Prem at 4.30pm tomorrow.
Jorginho could again keep out Thomas Partey with a place alongside Xhaka after impressing in last Sunday’s 2-0 win at Newcastle.
