ARSENAL are preparing a third bid for West Ham skipper Declan Rice, according to reports.
Though the Hammers are also expecting the treble winners Man City to bid for their £100million plus rated captain having already rejected two bids from the Gunners.
Rice remains keen on a move to Arsenal over City – should they accept an offer from Pep Guardiola's side that the Gunners are unwilling to match, the decision will not be down to Rice.
Elsewhere, Kai Havertz is expected to have his Arsenal medical this weekend, with a £65m move from Chelsea getting closer.
Meanwhile, the Gunners are expected to make a second bid for Ajax star Jurrien Timber, according to reports.

Not Hav-ing it
Arsenal ace Eddie Nketiah has been left unsettled by the impending arrival of Chelsea star Kai Havertz, as per SunSport's Dylan Terry.
Nketiah, 24, played a key role for the Gunners last season as he stepped in when Gabriel Jesus was injured with nine goals and three assists in 39 appearances.
But the signing of Havertz from their London rivals means the striker faces being pushed further down the pecking order at the Emirates.
A source said: "Eddie’s at a key stage in his career. He feels he’s now proved he can score goals at the highest level and the next step is to be playing week in week out.
"But the fact the club has decided to invest so heavily in another striker has left Eddie wondering if he really has a future at the club.
"There would certainly be no shortage of takers if he were to push for a move. Crystal Palace and West Ham are both near the front of the queue.
"Both clubs lack a 20-goal-a-season man which Nketiah believes he can be in the Premier League."
