What the papers say

League leaders Arsenal are hoping to bolster their ranks with West Ham captain Declan Rice. The midfielder is valued around £100million and the Gunners are likely to sell American-born striker Folarin Balogun, who is on loan at French side Reims, according to Metro.

Releasing Balogun for his £40m asking price could free up money to sign England international Rice.
