Arsenal are keen on signing Declan Rice, Mason Mount and Ilkay Gundogan this summer, according to The Athletic.
Bolstering midfield is a priority for Mikel Arteta and their main target is Rice, whose West Ham contract has a year left to run plus an option to extend by 12 months.
Arsenal also want to add creativity in a more advanced position and that has fuelled the pursuit of Mount, although there is strong competition from Liverpool and Manchester United, while Chelsea will make a final push to extend his terms, which are scheduled to expire in 2024.
Arsenal have concrete interest in Gundogan and Arteta is driving it, having worked with the 32-year-old German at the Etihad Stadium and identified him as the ideal replacement for Xhaka.
