Harry Redknapp believes that it is far from a foregone conclusion that Declan Rice will leave West Ham for Arsenal or Manchester City this summer.
Rice is the subject of a bidding war between the Premier League ’s top two sides from last season. The England midfielder appears likely to leave east London in order to play Champions League football and challenge for more silverware, having helped the Hammers win the Europa Conference League.
Arsenal have seen two bids rejected by West Ham so far, while it is understood that City’s opening offer worth £90million – £80m up front, plus £10m in add-ons – has also been pushed back across the table. The Hammers value Rice at £100m and are currently refusing to budge from that price tag.
