Arsenal have reportedly moved a step closer to clinching the signing of Declan Rice.
West Ham United chairman David Sullivan confirmed on Thursday that his club had given Rice his blessing to leave after clinching Europa Conference League success. Asked on talkSPORT if Rice has played his final game for West Ham, Sullivan said: “I think it has to be. We promised him he could go. He set his heart on going.
“You can’t ask for a man who has committed more to us this season. In due course, he has to get on and we have to get a replacement - or several replacements. It’s not something we want to happen. We offered him £200,000-a-week 18 months ago. He turned it down.
