Declan Rice is closing in on a record-breaking move to Arsenal - six months after he praised Mikel Arteta's 'incredible' coaching.
The Gunners have submitted a third offer for West Ham skipper Rice. Arsenal are willing to pay £105million for the Englishman, 24, with £100m of that transfer fee paid up front. The Hammers are yet to respond to the bid, but the signs are good for Arteta.
Arsenal's main rivals for Rice, Manchester City, are believed to have ended their interest. Furthermore, the Gunners have now matched West Ham's minimum asking price of £100m. It seems like only a matter of time before the huge summer transfer is completed.
