West Ham midfielder Declan Rice is a top priority for Arsenal in the summer transfer window, but the Hammers demand a high price tag of up to £120 million for the player.
While Arsenal is known for playing the market smartly, they may have to pay a hefty price for Rice this summer. In this listicle, The Live News looks at five Arsenal players West Ham could request in exchange for a £100 million deal for Rice.
The striker has had a great season in Ligue 1 with Stade de Reims and is seeking first-team minutes next season. With Gabriel Jesus and Eddie Nketiah already filling the attacking positions, Balogun won’t have the opportunity to play at Arsenal. West Ham could provide competition to Michail Antonio.

2. Kieran Tierney
The left-back has lost his place to Oleksandr Zinchenko this season and has been linked with an exit from Arsenal. A move to the London Stadium could be perfect for the defender, with Aaron Cresswell and Emerson struggling to cement a regular spot.
3. Charlie Patino
The midfielder is expected to leave Arsenal at the end of the season after his loan with Blackpool. He could make a name for himself in the Premier League with West Ham.
4. Albert Sambi Lokonga
The midfielder has had a successful loan spell at Crystal Palace but could plummet further down the pecking order in N7 with Rice’s arrival.
5. Nuno Tavares
The defender has had a difficult first season at Arsenal, and his chances of returning to the club seem slim. West Ham could provide a new opportunity for Tavares after a rather successful loan spell at Marseille.
