Arsenal are one step away from confirming the signing of West Ham captain Declan Rice as their latest addition in a club-record transfer deal.
football.london understands that the Gunners have held keen interest in the England international since early this year, outlining their interest in making his move a top priority this summer. While it's yet to be confirmed, the north London outfit appear to have won the race for the 24-year-old after plenty of twists and turns.
There was an initial wait to start the bidding process due to the Hammers' involvement in the Europa Conference League final at the end of the season. Once that was out of the way, bidding could begin as Arsenal had offers worth a total of £80million and £90million turned away.
