Arsenal’s summer transfer plans have caught the attention of Declan Rice, who is particularly keen on seeing the club secure the signing of a £50m England player.

Declan Rice hopes Arsenal will secure the signing of a £50m England player this summer

The desire of Declan Rice is for Arsenal to make a move for a £50m England international this summer.

Declan Rice recently expressed his desire for Arsenal to acquire a player from England’s Euro 2024 squad.

The Three Lions team is brimming with talent and is considered one of the top contenders to win the European Championships in Germany this season.

Despite leading their group, England has faced some challenges in the tournament, narrowly securing a draw against Denmark in their last match.

Gareth Southgate is anticipated to make a change in the upcoming game, and the player Rice wishes to see at Arsenal might be the one coming in.

Chelsea’s Conor Gallagher, a player rumored to be a £50m target for Tottenham Hotspur, is set to take Trent Alexander-Arnold’s place in the starting 11 against Slovenia tonight.

Declan Rice has praised his England teammate ahead of the match, expressing his admiration for Gallagher and stating his desire to see him at Arsenal.

“I’ve faced him during his time at Crystal Palace and Chelsea, and we’ve played together in the academy team,” said the Gunners midfielder in an interview with BBC Radio 5 Live.

“He’s a player I’d love to have on my side. Gallagher puts in a tremendous amount of effort on the field.

Playing alongside him gives you a sense of security. This season, he has impressed many with his ball skills, his ability to push forward, get into the box, and score goals.”

Conor Gallagher is a perfect fit for Mikel Arteta’s tactical approach. Arteta values midfielders with high energy levels, and Gallagher possesses exactly that.

Therefore, it is highly probable that Arsenal will consider him as a potential addition to their squad.

However, it is uncertain whether Chelsea would be willing to negotiate with their rivals, particularly considering their aspirations to secure a spot in the Champions League.

On the other hand, Arsenal’s pursuit of Mikel Merino seems more promising for this summer transfer window.

Arteta has already reached out to Merino in an attempt to persuade him to join the club.
