Arsenal have submitted a club record transfer offer for West Ham United captain Declan Rice, football.london understands.
The Gunners had already seen two bids for Rice rejected by David Moyes’s side this month, the most recent of which was £75million with an additional £15million in add-ons. Manchester City then decided to enter the race to sign the England international, sending an offer of £80million plus £10million add-ons with a more favourable payment structure.
Still, the Hammers held firm, also rebuffing the Premier League champions as they hold out for a fee in excess of £100million. Now, Arsenal have gone over the nine-figure mark, lodging a third bid worth £100million plus £5million in add-ons, football.london understands.
