The Declan Rice to Bayern Munich speculation is gathering pace tonight in a story that will concern Arsenal fans.

Bayern look to be seriously rivalling Arsenal and Manchester United for the signing of Rice this summer.

Sky in Germany claim that the West Ham talisman has held talks with Thomas Tuchel on the phone in recent days.

Those discussions are believed to have gone well, with Rice said to be open to joining the Bundesliga champions this summer.

Now the Daily Mirror report that Bayern have tabled a massive package for the England midfielder worth £95m.

The England midfielder is widely expected to finally depart West Ham after next week’s Europa Conference League final showdown with Fiorentina in Prague.

Arsenal are considered to be leading the race for a deal that would cost at least £100m, with United also keen.
