The report states that Arsenal would like to have Rice confirmed and officially signed before their upcoming pre-season tour. The same can be said for defender Jurrien Timber. For context, the Gunners travel to Germany to face Nurnberg on Thursday, before commencing the rest of their pre-season matches in the USA a week from that day.
