Manchester City will seek assurances from Declan Rice that he wants to sign for the club.
The Citizens are willing to put in a bid for the West Ham United and England midfielder.
However, The Mirror states that City are well aware of Rice's preference for North London.
A move to Arsenal is on the cards for Rice, while he was previously heavily linked to Chelsea.
West Ham want a fee in the region of 100 million for their star man this summer.
Arsenal have already had two bids rejected, while City are yet to put in a formal offer.
