The Gunners made clear their determination to sign Declan Rice after being rejected by West Ham with an offer of £ 90 million, including extra fees.

Recently, Arsenal sent their first offer to buy Declan Rice worth £ 80 million, plus an additional £ 10 million in fees. However, West Ham immediately denied.

According to Sky Sports, the Emirates Stadium team will return immediately with a new price of about £ 100 million. A record price for Arsenal’s transfer

Arsenal’s transfer record belongs to Nicolas Pepe, who moved from Lille for £72 million in 2019. Thus, Rice will break this record and become the most expensive player in Gunners history. The English midfielder is also certainly the highest-priced sale of West Ham.

The Hammers also asked the partner to pay for this transfer in 2 installments, the deadline for completion is before 2025.

According to the foggy media, Arsenal can assign Emile Smith Rowe or Nketiah as part of a player exchange.

Declan Rice is the Gunners’ number 1 target this summer. Although Man City rushed to compete, Arsenal were confident to win.

Rice himself also turns his heart to the Emirates Stadium, because he wants to play in the Champions League, without disturbing the living environment in London.

Previously, West Ham confirmed to sell Declan Rice this summer. After winning the European Cup, West Ham president David Sullivan said the club had promised Rice would let him go if there was a suitable offer.

However, West Ham are demanding large sums of money upfront, while Arsenal are hoping for a payment term of two to four years.

In addition to Declan Rice, Arsenal also dared to buy striker Kai Havertz, currently valued at £70 million by Chelsea.
