In this episode I chat to Charles Watts about Declan Rice, after the news of Man City's interest in him. It's far from a surprise but definitely a complication, and we discuss the challenges Arsenal face, City's push to sign him, the financial differences at play, and how important it is to get this priority signing done after missing out on some previous deals in the January window. We also talk about Kai Havertz expected arrival, and why so much of this transfer window feels dependent on us landing the West Ham captain. There's also some chat about Thomas Partey, and how the Saudi Arabian league could impact the market this summer.

Note: This is out early because things move so fast, I didn't want it to be out of date.
