Declan Rice could be set to play his final game for West Ham tonight as the east London outfit prepare for the Europa Conference League final against Fiorentina. The England international has expressed a desire to play for a team challenging for titles and competing in the Champions League.
Rice has rejected approaches from the Hammers regarding signing a new contract at the London Stadium as he enters the final 12 months of his current deal. football.london revealed in January that the Gunners are prioritising a move for the 24-year-old in the summer transfer window as Mikel Arteta looks to bolster his midfield options.
Arsenal value Rice at around £90million with reports suggesting Arteta wants to hold face-to-face talks with the English midfielder after West Ham's final against Fiorentina. The Hammers value Rice over £100million leaving the two London teams quite far apart with negotiations expected to begin this month.
