Declan Rice's move from West Ham United to Arsenal now appears to be a matter of "when" not "if" with the two sides having finally reached an agreement on the technicalities of the England international's £105m move across the capital.
The 24-year-old, who captained the Hammers to Europa Conference League glory in Prague last month, will now, according to The Athletic, undergo a medical at the Gunners' London Colney training base on Friday after a three-part instalment was agreed for the record fee.
Manchester City had previously matched Arsenal's opening offer of £90m last month. However, both offers were swiftly rejected by the London Stadium outfit, who have stood firm in their valuation of the England international throughout the saga.
