ARSENAL fans are getting increasingly excited at the prospect of two England internationals joining their club in a double summer swoop.
The Gunners are enjoying their best season in many years and sit in pole position to win the Premier League with 10 games remaining.
They’ve also been having a good time of it off the pitch with signings such as Leandro Trossard, Gabriel Jesus and Oleksandr Zinchenko all proving to be a huge success.
Reports continue to link the club with summer moves for England stars Mason Mount and Declan Rice.
Mount’s position at Chelsea is increasingly uncertain with his contract running down and the club needing to offload stars to balance the books.
While Rice has been linked repeatedly with an Emirates move and West Ham soon needing to make a decision about his future.

Gunners fans are loving the idea of Arsenal poaching two young homegrown talents from rival London clubs.
Responding to a news story about Mount potentially making the switch, one supporter said excitedly on Twitter: “There’s some naughty talk of him and Rice joining The Arsenal…”
Another fan said: “Rice linking up with Mount for Arsenal sounds hilarious.”
While someone else claimed that they believed it was now a “formality” that Rice would arrive in north London.

Arsenal have reportedly grown in confidence at landing Rice, despite the fact the 24-year-old is attracting the attention of other big clubs.
The club’s owners are believed to be ready to back manager Mikel Arteta in the transfer window with more funds.
If either England star were to join, it would leave Arsenal’s midfield even more stacked with quality.
The Gunners already have the likes of Granit Xhaka, Thomas Partey and Martin Odegaard holding down the fort in the middle of the park.
