      Boss David Moyes admits he expects to lose his skipper this summer.
      But Rice, 24, has two years left on his contract.

      With his contract at Selhurst Park up in the summer, Gers boss Michael Beale targeted Butland on a free transfer.
      We reported how the Scottish giants were willing to match his salary from the Eagles.
      And they hoped to lure him north of the border with the promise of first-team action.
      It was then speculated that Butland’s salary had been deemed too expensive by Rangers.

      And then it emerged that United also wanted him back as cover for David de Gea – meaning that Butland had to decide whether he wants to play regularly with Gers or bank more cash at the Red Devils.
      The stopper, who has won nine Englnd caps, now appears certain to be heading to Ibrox.
      The Daily Mail have claimed that the fact he knew Beale “really wanted him” had led to him agreeing “a compromise on his personal terms”.
      And now he is “closing” in on a transfer to Rangers.

      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.
      READ MORE ON ARSENAL
      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.

      However, the report suggests that the Molineux outfit would prefer to sell him to a foreign club.
      Wolves have set a price tag of £45m on the club captain, which would likely make him the most affordable option for the Gunners.
      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

      Why Erling Haaland will NOT be banned for F-bomb live on TV despite Wayne Rooney’s suspension for swearing

      by

      ERLING Haaland will NOT be probed over his Prem title F-word interview.Manchester City star Haaland let slip the expletive as he gate-crashed a chat with Jack Grealish during the Sky Sports coverage of the club’s celebrations.

      If Haaland had faced a similar two-game ban to Rooney, he could have faced missing June’s FA Cup finalCredit: Sky Sports
      A laughing Haaland came up to hug his team-mate and said: “I f****** love you!”
      Some Manchester United fans suggested the FA would have to intervene and potentially ban Haaland from the FA Cup Final on June 3.
      They pointed to the two game ban handed out to Wayne Rooney for screaming into a TV camera after scoring against West Ham in 2011.
      But Sun Sport understands that FA disciplinary chiefs do not believe any action is required and that there are no plans to investigate.

      Swearing during media appearances is not something that automatically triggers charges.
      Charges would only follow if Wembley beaks felt the circumstances and tone of the comments were enough to make action required, with all incidents considered on a case by case basis.
      In any event, the critical difference between the Haaland eruption and Rooney’s historic blast was in the timing.
      Rooney snarled into the camera during a game and was charged with and suspended for using “offensive, insulting and abusive language” in that context.

      By contrast, Haaland’s actions came long after the final whistle had sounded, and were part out an outpouring of joy and fun, rather than in anger.
      The incident occurred after City’s second-string team comfortably beat struggling Chelsea 1-0.
      Julian Alvarez scored after 12 minutes and Frank Lampard’s side could not find a way back to equalise. More
