London club pull out of race to sign Brighton’s Moisés Caicedo in bid to secure their main target, West Ham captain Declan Rice
Arteta has switched focus to other players and talks have been held over moving for Lavia. The 19-year-old is likely to leave Southampton after their relegation from the Premier League and is valued at £45 million .
Lavia impressed after leaving Manchester City for £10.5 million last summer. City inserted a buyback clause but it is believed they are unlikely to exercise it. The shortage of physicality in Arteta’s midfield was best summed up by the way they lost 2-0 leads against West Ham and Liverpool in April. Signing Rice and Lavia would go a long way towards solving that problem. Arsenal are also strong contenders to sign the Chelsea forward Kai Havertz.
