Arsenal Loanee price disclosed as Declan Rice breaks silence on transfer connections
Signings and departures are already the subject of much discussion at the Emirates Stadium, indicating a likely active transfer window. Here is the Arsenal morning digest for Wednesday, May 31.
According to Gazzetta dello Sport, a number of Europe’s best clubs are interested in signing Arsenal’s Folarin Balogun this summer. AC Milan, Inter Milan, RB Leipzig, Monaco, and Marseille are among those clubs.
The report indicates that Balogun will command a transfer fee of approximately £35 million after a wildly successful loan tenure with Ligue 1 club Reims. The Hale End academy graduate has scored 20 league goals during his tenure in France, with just one league match remaining.
Rice on his prospects
Declan Rice, a midfielder for West Ham United, commented on his future amid rumors of a transfer to Arsenal or Bayern Munich.
When asked if the Hammers winning the UEFA Europa Conference League would be the ideal send-off, Rice told the Evening Standard, “To be honest, I haven’t really focused on that.” Since the World Cup, my primary objective this season has been to get us out of the relegation zone and, of course, to win this trophy.
“Everything else is mere speculation and noise. Clearly, I have no control over that; it comes with participating. But my primary objective is to play for West Ham and win this championship.
“I’m doing it for the club, my family, and the supporters, and that’s my sole concentration. I am focused on making them all extremely pleased.”
