The ball is in Arsenal’s court as Declan Rice is reportedly waiting for them to move after West Ham rejected a transfer bid from Manchester City for their club captain.
Rice is a man in demand this summer, with Fabrizio Romano discussing the bidding war for the England international in his exclusive CaughtOffside column earlier this morning.
It remains to be seen who will come out on top in this battle between Arsenal and Man City, but the Guardian now claim Rice is ready to wait for an improved offer from the Gunners.
It seems Rice is ready to wait this one out, though it’s been suggested in the report that he could be open to moving to City if they end up making a better offer than Arsenal.
West Ham will undoubtedly be pleased with how this is panning out, as a bidding war allows them to stand firm and demand huge money for their star player.
Rice has been superb for the Hammers and will no doubt be missed, though a big fee for him can help the east London club strengthen in several other areas.
Rice is NOT worth 100m.. The original bid was over the top.
Get Onana.
If Arsenal buy him and win the league next season, will he be worth it then?
If?
If he signs for Arsenal (which is now looking extremely likely) set a reminder to come back and tell me if you still think he is overrated in 12 month’s time. I’d be surprised if you do.
It is time for Arteta to move away from west ham no way is declan rice worth a hundred million look at the likes of onana and others
Arsenal must see other players instead of making this unwanted war.
Let city have him
Arsenal should forget overpriced Rice and buy two other midfielders with that cash. There’s Fofana, Thuram, Onana and Lavia to choose from. Any two combined is more valuable than a single Rice.
Not sure who you lot support but got a good idea, Rice not worth £100m of course he is, if Levy at Spurs values Kane at £150m then Rice has to be, when do you ever see Rice rolling around on floor making out to be injured like Kane and many others he is a 90 min non stop player who plays for his teams glory not his own.
Best midfielder in europe in that position will only get better and better.
Actually need arsenal qualitative player like rice, so i advised arteta hurry to buy he.
