Declan Rice has reportedly responded to a \u2018huge bid\u2019 from the Saudi Pro League, while Arsenal<\/a> are \u2018growing confidence\u2019 about sealing three deals.<\/p>\n

Since joining Arsenal for around \u00a3105m, Rice <\/a>has taken his game to another level and has cemented himself as one of the world\u2019s best midfielders.<\/p>\n

The Arsenal <\/a>standout was impacted by fatigue at the World Cup, but he has made a strong start to this campaign as his side has made the perfect start to the new season.<\/p>\n

Therefore, it is hardly surprising that the Gunners are desperate to keep Rice and other key players as they work on new contracts.<\/p>\n

In the summer, Arsenal improved their squad with the signings of Bruno Guimaraes, Ezri Konsa, Piero Hincapie and Christos Tzolis, but they have also been keen to tie players to new players after getting new deals secured for Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Magalhaes, William Saliba and Myles Lewis-Skelly.<\/p>\n
