Here are your Manchester City evening headlines for Thursday, June 22. Former England midfielder Danny Murphy has advised Declan Rice to turn down advances from Arsenal this summer and seal a move to City.
The Blues, according to widespread reports, are plotting a formal offer for the West Ham United captain, who has been identified as Arsenal's top midfield target.
The Gunners have already seen two bids for the 24-year-old rejected, including a club-record offer. City, as reported by the Manchester Evening News last week, have been exploring the possibility of making a move for the England midfielder.
And in the event of City lodging a formal bid, Murphy believes Rice should jump at the opportunity to seal a move to M11, describing the prospect of joining the Premier League champions a "no-brainer".
