The sense until now has been that Declan Rice’s preference is to join Arsenal. He admires Arteta’s football and sources have stressed that he does not want to leave London.

West Ham have been holding out for at least £100m for Rice and it remains to be seen how they respond to Man City’s offer (£80m plus £10m in add-ons).

Arsenal are planning a third bid and are likely to need to counter City’s offer by meeting West Ham’s asking price.

There has been an expectation that they would end up paying over £100m once add-ons were taken into account. Arsenal will not have a problem agreeing personal terms with Rice. [@JacobSteinberg]

Czyli teraz scenariusze są 2: za chwilę będzie deal done i Rice w City albo nasi wejdą z ofertą 90+10 i Anglik zawita na Emirates."

@JacobsBen on Rice: “Now, Arsenal need to agree a deal with West Ham - that’s the only thing that matters in all of this. There is a third bid incoming, it might go in TODAY, certainly by midweek. If it’s good enough, Declan Rice will be an Arsenal player.” [@TFTerrace] #afc

Arsenal are closing in on Jurrien Timber signing, as per @FabrizioRomano

- Second offer submitted
- Worth €45-48m
- #Timber ‘loves’ #AFC project
- Personal terms agreed
- Five-year contract agreed
- First bid was £30m

@FabrizioRomano: "Romeo Lavia is in Arsenal’s list and they had some positive conversation on the club and player side, but still no official bid.

"We know the priority is to resolve other stuff like Timber, Rice and many others. Of course, Havertz will be official.

"But it's important to say that Romeo Lavia remains in the Arsenal list as one of the players they appreciate, and are waiting to understand the future of Thomas Partey, who is prioritizing European clubs over Saudi clubs at the moment.

"Let's see what's going to happen for Partey, so Lavia is in the Arsenal list." [YouTube via @ArsenalBuzzCom]

"The race remains open between Man City and Arsenal, waiting for the bids and also for West Ham position. Payment terms will also be important, West Ham want big money paid now and not in four or five instalments.

"As I revealed a couple of days ago, contacts have taken place between City and Rice on the player side. Mikel Arteta has been trying his best to sign Rice for Arsenal, but City are still there as well. Nothing is decided yet, but we could have a crucial few days ahead." [via @caughtoffside]

Mikel Arteta on Ødegaard’s ‘star’ season: “I think that is his merit. His self-motivation is brutal, he understands everything very well & learns quickly. We help him by giving him responsibility & confidence by making him captain, I explained it to him, ‘With this will come more demand & your ability to transmit will be key, be you’, I told him.”

“Martin is very reserved, but when he speaks, you listen to him. He does everything that is required - he takes care of himself, he cares about others & improves them, he has education, love for the game, commitment.”

“He believes he has to play closer to the penalty area, touch it less & get there more. His numbers are very good, the interior [midfield] player with the most goals in the history of the Premier League along with Lampard. He can still improve at 24.”

Mikel Arteta on ‘outspending’ Manchester City recently: “It depends on what is evaluated, net worth or investment in one year, in three [years] or in 10 years? Or that you also value salaries? The point of investment is one & the revaluation perhaps matters more - how much a player you buy is worth within ‘x’ years. There is investment with return & revaluation. That’s our strategy to sustain ourselves.” [@marca] #afc

We know the difficulty: it's the best league in the world and next season is going to be the most difficult league in the history of the Premiership. Why? It already was last year."

"I've been here for 22 years and I've never seen a competitive level like that. So much quality, so much organization, so many resources, so many good coaches... and now Pochettino and Iraola arrive. That's the level and to win the Premier League you have to be the best. That's why you have to strengthen." [@marca]

Mikel Arteta - “Talent has a price and, at Arsenal, we are always interested in young players with experience. I repeat, I'm not talking about players from other clubs, but, in the case of Kai (Havertz), he has already shown a lot, including a Champions League. He is a talented, versatile player and only 24 years old.” [@FIFAcom via @karthikadhaigal]

Mikel Arteta: "Three years ago. I was Pep's assistant at City, we played against Arsenal and I saw that the soul of the club had been lost. There was no enjoyment, no feeling."

"I knew there was the option of, soon after, being in the other dugout and I knew that this club is so big that we had to connect the team with the fans."

"It has been hard to do and undo...and now I feel happy. We have a clear identity, there is unity and we are full of energy. That's the greatest thing. From top to bottom, everyone is pulling in the same direction. We give the fan something to dream about and be proud of. And now, we have to win more." [@FIFAcom via @karthikadhaigal]
