Arsenal have made an opening bid for West Ham United captain Declan Rice.
Rice is a priority target for the Gunners this summer amid talk of Bayern Munich suddenly expressing interest.
And Sky Deutschland says after making their move, Bayern have learned Arsenal have tabled a first bid for Rice.
Arsenal have made a 70m offer for the midfielder in recent days.
West Ham are yet to respond, though they're expected to wait for further bids, with Manchester United and Manchester City also keen.
