What the papers say
Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta is hoping to meet with England and West Ham star Declan Rice (24) as soon as the season ends, with the Gunners eager to secure the £100 million-rated midfielder’s signature, the Mirror said.
Arsenal are also looking to add depth to their side as they consider a bid for Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi, who has played three games for England and captained Palace on several occasions, according to the Daily Mail.
Tottenham have also showed interest in the 22-year-old who has played 78 times for Palace since moving from Chelsea in 2021.
If Southampton get relegated, captain James Ward-Prowse could be on the move, with Tottenham and Newcastle both waiting to see what price tag gets put on the England international midfielder, the Daily Mail said.
The Mirror says Manchester United are reportedly considering signing Roma striker Tammy Abraham as an alternative if they cannot tempt Harry Kane away from Tottenham this summer.
