Declan Rice's future has all the ingredients to become this summer's main transfer saga with Arsenal, Manchester City and Chelsea all interested in his signature.
However, there could very well be some fresh developments in the coming days amid talk of the Gunners returning with an improved bid after seeing an opening offer - that would have seen them pay £80million over six years - rejected instantly by London rivals West Ham United.
It's understood that the Hammers want more of the money paid upfront and whilst Arsenal remain confident that the deal can be done this summer, their stance is that it will ultimately come down to the player to decide amid interest from sides like Man City and Chelsea.
