Arsenal transfer news – Moises Caicedo considered if Declan Rice fails

Yesterday wasn’t a great day for Arsenal fans. When it was revealed that Manchester City planned to bid for Declan Rice, a majority of fans lost hope in this transfer saga. However, we know it doesn’t exactly work like that.

According to David Ornstein of The Athletic, the Gunners will continue to try and outbid Rice since they are focused on signing him. However, the worst case scenario is that they are considering options such as Moises Caicedo, who Arteta is clearly a fan of as well.

Arsenal transfer news – Jurrien Timber move in progress

Bad news aside for one second, because Fabrizio Romano has provided a positive update for Arsenal. According to the transfer expert, Arsenal will progress with the move for Jurrien Timber in the coming hours/days. The versatile defender is a big fan of the possible move so his desire will help The Gunners in their negotiations with Ajax.
