West Ham have made Declan Rice an important promise regarding a summer move this summer.
The England international, who turned down three contract extensions in east London, is anticipated to leave the club if suitable offer is made.
Mikel Arteta is eager to add a midfielder to his squad this summer, thus Arsenal has emerged as the front-runner to sign Rice.
The report states: “Out of respect for Rice and in recognition of his performances during six seasons in the first team, West Ham have promised they will not stand in the way of his dream of playing in the Champions League if a suitable offer is made.”
