Widely reported that Arsenals main summer target is Rice. Player wants to come and Arsenal are favourites.

I guarantee you that West Ham will have no scruples about selling to the highest bidder, and that will be Chelsea. It's been basically sung from the rooftops that he's their long-term target for years, right? We'll bid 80m, Chelsea will come in with 110.

Chelsea won't go in for Rice, we've got other targets which the club are working on currently i. e. Enzo, Caicedo, Kone etc. Most the links to Chelsea are forced cause the player himself wants to return as he was part of our academy before he was released.

The timing is also highly sus and reeks of a journalist on a wind up. Couple days after chelsea get our top target, we decide to let everyone know that in the summer we're going to buy their supposed top target. The article I saw was even written like that ? like we've gone "grrr! Who do they want to buy? Let's buy them! "

I don't think you can rule anything out with Boehly at the helm CFCShak mate. Chelsea's transfer policy is so scattergun it makes Ashley Cole look like an ace sniper.

ED, I know you’ve somewhat answered this a few weeks back regarding Vlahovic leaving in Jan and how unlikely that is. Is there still interest to maybe go for him in the future after this window? I’m just thinking we have 3 forwards on the books. Belogun who’s doing bits in France w Jesus and Eddie. Vlahovic won’t want to be part of a rotation as I imagine neither will Jesus. Loving the Rice links.

{Ed002's Note - Dusan Vlahovic (S) Only joined in January 2022 and won't be for sale this winter - injured right now. The financial issues that Juventus now have will likely determine if he is sold in the summer. There will be a lot of interest if he is.}

Haha, but honestly I don't think Rice is a real target, otherwise we would be seeing some real strong links already. We've had so many names thrown at us in midfield who we've actually chased but not rice.

Not too sure on this, isn't Declan Rice, s Dad a season ticket holder at Chelsea.

{Ed002's Note - Declan Rice is an ex-Chelsea player. I doubt his Dad is available, but perhaps Arsenal could try.}
