Arsenal target Declan Rice is a "firmer option" than £80m star for the Gunners, says talkSPORT reporter Alex Crook.

Arsenal target Declan Rice is a "firmer option" than Mason Mount for the Gunners, talkSPORT reporter Alex Crook has told GIVEMESPORT. The Chelsea attacking midfielder is also thought to be on the north London club's radar right now, but Crook has suggested that his England team-mate is the more likely signing at the Emirates this summer. Arsenal transfer news — Declan Rice and Mason Mount Last month, CBS journalist Ben Jacobs told GIVEMESPORT that Rice will be a priority for Arsenal in the next transfer window. Since then, talk has emerged about the Gunners also being interested in one of his England colleagues.
According to Goal, Arsenal are discussing the possibility of signing Mount, who's approaching the final year of his contract at Stamford Bridge. Despite his current Chelsea deal running down, the MailOnline claims that the Blues have already quoted Newcastle United a huge £80m fee for the 24-year-old.
What has Alex Crook said about Declan Rice, Mason Mount and Arsenal? Crook says Rice has looked like the more concrete option for Arsenal and Mikel Arteta.

Declan Rice has appeared like the firmer alternative, the talkSPORT reporter remarked in a statement to GIVEMESPORT. I believe that Arsenal is his favored location. Chelsea is probably keeping an eye on that one as well. Newcastle would be interested if they made a significant investment. However, I doubt they have the resources to carry that out this summer.

Inter have made the asking price clear for wingback Denzel Dumfries during the summer transfer window clear, with incoming Chelsea coach eyeing up a move for the Dutch World Cup star.

This according to Italian news outlet Repubblica.it, who report that the 27-year-old is a major target for the Argentine who is expected to take over at Stamford Bridge, and that the Nerazzurri would expect a fee of at least €40 million for his signature. Dumfries’s future at Inter has looked uncertain for some time now, with the 26-year-old former PSV man having been strongly linked as a possible sale during the summer transfer window should the Nerazzurri need to bring in cash from the market. The likes of Chelsea and Manchester United have been reported to be interested, whilst Barcelona have reportedly also enquired about the Dutchman for the summer transfer window. However, in March Gianluca Di Marzio reported that Dumfries is no longer a major target for Chelsea as he had been in the past. The situation at Stamford Bridge has been in flux, however, with Graham Potter removed as head coach just a few months after taking over, replaced with Frank Lampard on an interim basis.

Blues are OUT of the Champions League as the defending champions prove too strong with ruthless Rodrygo scoring twice to cruise into semi-finals

Frank Lampard has become the first Chelsea manager in the club's 118-year history to lose his first four games in charge. Lampard returned to Stamford Bridge on April 6 for a short-term spell until the end of the season following the dismissal of Graham Potter. However, matters certainly haven't gone to plan so far, and Lampard has now broken an unwanted record, as reported by The Mirror. Chelsea were beaten 1-0 by Wolves in Lampard's first game of his second stint in charge and that was followed by a 2-0 defeat to Real Madrid in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals. Last weekend Chelsea lost 2-1 at home to Brighton in the league and then on Tuesday they were eliminated from the Champions League with another 2-0 gloss against Real Madrid. Following that, the Blues have fixtures against Arsenal, Bournemouth, Nottingham Forest, Manchester City and Newcastle. It is the first time that Chelsea have lost four consecutive matches in all competiti...

Chelsea will express their interest in signing Cameroon goalkeeper Andre Onana during their upcoming meeting with Inter Milan over Romelu Lukaku’s future, according to Evening Standard.

The newspaper claims Blues’ officials will travel to Italy next week to discuss the future of Lukaku, who is due to return to Chelsea in the summer when his loan deal expires at the end of the season. The Belgium striker moved to Inter on a season-long loan deal from Chelsea last summer and has impressed at the San Siro Stadium, scoring nine goals and registering three assists in 26 appearances across all competitions. The West Londoners are planning a summer clear-out in order to meet the Financial Fair Play requirements after spending £323m in the winter transfer window on eight new players as well as splashing out close to £300m last summer. However, bringing in a shot-stopper could be on the cards as they look to bolster their squad for next season. Edouard Mendy is expected to leave Stamford Bridge at the end of the campaign after losing his first team place. The Senegal international has featured in only 11 games in all competitions having been hampered by in...
