There are reports that Arsenal are seeking to make Declan Rice & Romeo Lavia their new midfield for next season. Honestly, this makes sense if this is true. Lavia is young and can understudy Partey. Maybe Arsenal are not that advanced with Lavia as they are with Declan Rice, but are seen as his most likely next club. I feel Arteta knows that his young Arsenal side were occasionally outmatched physically in last season’s run-in and has sought to bolster the power of his side. This type of business makes sense to me and I wish they can finalize it as soon as possible.
