Declan Rice's move from West Ham to Arsenal continues to be held up by the payment structure of the offer.
The Hammers are resigned to losing their star man with the Gunners seemingly his next club. Manchester City pulled out of the race after they opted against matching the £105m bid lodged by those at the Emirates, £100m of which is guaranteed with a further £5m in add-ons.
Arsenal want to build on their impressive campaign last time out but West Ham are continuing to dig their heels in regarding Rice as they want the lump sum paid in full by early 2025, whereas the north Londoners want to stagger the payments across a five-year period, as per The Sun.
