It is no secret that Arsenal want to sign West Ham United captain Declan Rice during the summer transfer window.
This month, the Gunners have seen two offers for Rice rejected by the Hammers, who are demanding at least £100 million for their skipper. The north London ouffit had a first bid of £80million plus at least £10million in add-ons rejected last week for the England international before another offer was lodged on Tuesday.
West Ham, however, remain adamant of an English record fee for the 24-year-old with achievable add-on structure with a significant portion of the guaranteed fee paid upfront instead of the staggered payment over six years that had been offered previously, football.london understands. Now, The Telegraph have claimed that Manchester United are considering making a player-plus-cash move for Rice.
