The Guardian reports that Arsenal have reignited their interest in Manchester United star Wayne Rooney, shortly after Chelsea confirmed they had made an official bid for the player’s services.
The Blues have reportedly had a £20 million bid rejected for the England international, but they are ready to return with a new proposal.
Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho has confessed that Rooney is their only remaining transfer target, with no plan B available.
Meanwhile, Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has once again confirmed his interest in the 27-year-old, and he could finally decide to splash the cash this summer with fans demanding a high-profile signing.
Ladbrokes seem to believe that Chelsea are closer to winning the race at the moment, with the Blues priced at 1.50 (1/2) with the firm.
Arsenal, on the other hand, are no less than 4.00 (3/1) with BetFred, as online bookmakers don’t seem to believe the Gunners can attract a world-class player to the Emirates.
Wayne Rooney has expressed long ago expressed his desire to leave Old Trafford, with David Moyes’ recent comments pushing him further towards the exit door.
