      However, West Ham are still keen to keep hold of their star player are demanding a fee of at least £120million.
      The North London outfit are expected to only go as high as £90m for Rice.
      The bid is thought to fall below what the Hammers want for Rice which has seen Arsenal draw up a list of three alternatives, according to the Daily Mail.
      The report states that Brighton’s Moises Caicedo, Wolves’ captain Ruben Neves and Real Sociedad star Martin Zubimendi.

      Zubimendi, 24, was a January target of the Gunners but he opted to stay at the LaLiga outfit, despite the club’s willingness to pay his release clause.
      He has been tipped as one of the best midfielders in Spain, with Barcelona manager Xavi suggesting he is an “extraordinary pivot”.
      Arsenal also tried to sign Caicedo, 21, in the January window but saw a £70m bid rejected by Brighton, despite the midfielder handing in a transfer request.
      The Ecuadorian did sign a new contract at the Amex Stadium and with the club guaranteed to be in Europe next season, he could be a tricky man to get away from the South Coast.

      The last name, Neves, 26, has admitted that he wants to be playing Champions League football.
      However, the report suggests that the Molineux outfit would prefer to sell him to a foreign club.

      Arsenal are also in the market for a more attacking midfielder to compete with Martin Odegaard.
      Chelsea’s Mason Mount and Manchester City Ilkay Gundogan have been touted as potential options for the club. More

      The pair are currently at the European U17 Championships in Hungary and have both been on the scoresheet already.
      Nwaneri grabbed the only goal of the game against Croatia in their Group D opener before Lewis-Skelly opened the scoring in the 4-1 win over the Netherlands.

      The West Ham skipper has been earmarked for a £100million transfer.

      That has led to speculation about his future, and Balogun has showed his desire to play regularly by opting to represent the USA instead of England at international level.
      Now Arsenal legend Henry believes the 21-year-old must decide where he wants to play next season.
      He told CBS Sport: “Now for him it’s going to be important next season to play.
      “I don’t know if he’s going to play for Arsenal. We all know for the national team with England he had to battle with Callum Wilson, [Ivan] Toney, Ollie Watkins, Tammy Abraham, Harry Kane.

      “He’s been great in the league. He’s a good nine. Now he’s going to have to find a team where he’s going to play next year, that’s very important.”
      Balogun has been linked with a permanent move away after reportedly informing the Gunners he is “opposed” to going out on loan again.
      AC Milan are believed to be interested in the striker but Arsenal could demand a fee of £26.5million to let him leave.
      Balogun is also said to be attracting interest from RB Leipzig and Gooners are split on whether he should be sold.

      One fan wanting to keep him said: “The thought of Balogun getting sold still troubles me deeply. He gives me the vibes like he the man.”
      A second added in agreement: “If it comes down to Balogun leaving, looking for more game time, I’d rather have him stay and been given a chance over Nketiah, who can be sold, and those funds used elsewhere.”
      But another shared an opposing view, writing: “The most ambitious move of all this summer would be to sell Eddie and Balogun and get a first choice number 9. Osimhen would be perfect.”
      Another commented: “If it was me I’d sell Eddie [Nketiah] and Balogun and use that money for Dusan Vlahovic/Ivan Toney.” More
