Manchester City could reportedly be ready to try to blow Arsenal and Chelsea out of the water in their bid to seal the transfer of West Ham star Declan Rice.
The Premier League champions are one of the main clubs chasing Rice at the moment, with the England international refusing to sign a new contract and looking to move away from West Ham.
According to the Daily Star, City could try to move into pole position for Rice by offering the Hammers the chance to sign Kalvin Phillips in return.
Phillips joined City from Leeds in the summer, but was also wanted by West Ham during his time at Elland Road.

Things haven’t really worked out for Phillips at the Etihad Stadium, so a summer game makes sense, and Rice would clearly be an upgrade.
Arsenal and Chelsea also want Rice, but this possible trade option now could put MCFC in the top spot.
