The North London club have apparently eclipsed Chelsea as both clubs chase two of the summer transfer window’s most-coveted target: Declan Rice and Moisés Caicedo. Various reports go so far as to say that Chelsea are “out of the running” for Rice and that Arsenal have “jumped ahead” of Chelsea in the race to sign Caicedo. Signing just one would be a massive boost to our fortunes; signing both? Priceless.

When West Ham managed to defeat Man U on Sunday courtesy of a wicked rabbit-chaser feeble touch past de Gea, my first thought was, “well, that’s relegation avoided for the Hammers, then. Rice will be staying”. After all, the result put them seven points from the drop-zone, thus staving off the need to sell prized assets while they still could.

Look. Like the rest of you, I want us to waltz our way to the title, swatting aside each and every opponent who dares to stand in our way. Leeds? Crystal Palace? Fulham? We should and did trample them. We had our chance against Liverpool but let that slip. As we look ahead to West Ham, then, it almost feels silly for us to be assessing their fitness and priorities, given that they’re facing relegation. Ahead of our Sunday clash, though, there’s nothing wrong with sussing out the situation.
