Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta is reportedly reconsidering the idea of splurging a huge portion of the club's summer transfer budget on West Ham captain Declan Rice and Brighton youngster Moises Caicedo. Just a few weeks ago, Arteta and co were powering towards a long-awaited Premier League title with a healthy lead over Manchester City. That has left Pep Guardiola's City side just two points behind, with two games in hand and vastly superior momentum. The power shift has supposedly prompted Arteta and sporting director Edu to rethink their summer plans. According to The Sun, the Gunners boss is cooling on the idea of spending at least £150million on Rice and Caicedo as he feels other areas of the squad need strengthening too.
