According to reports, Arsenal has reached an initial agreement to sign Declan Rice from West Ham for a new club-record fee. However, certain aspects of the deal still need to be finalised.
Rice has been a long-standing target for Arsenal, with the club pursuing him since last summer. Following West Ham’s triumph in the Conference League, Arsenal made their move for the midfielder. Although their initial bids were rejected, Arsenal has now reached an agreement with West Ham for a transfer fee of £105m.
Sky Sports has reported that Declan Rice has been given permission to undergo a medical with Arsenal. However, the finalisation of the transfer depends on the two clubs agreeing on the payment structure. Resolving this issue is expected to be a matter of negotiation in the coming days.
Just Arsenal Opinion
Rice is one of the best midfielders around and it is an impressive piece of business that we have added the Englishman to our squad.
We have broken our transfer record again as we did for Nicolas Pepe, but we expect Rice to succeed in London as he already understands the Premier League and has won a European trophy, unlike the Ivorian, who was new to the league.

Think we can safely put our pot on the fire for this one 👍🏻👍🏻
“depends on the two clubs agreeing on the payment structure”
The deals got this far, so I doubt if there’s really much of a problem, but if there is then Eni Aluko should have a solution.

Mine been acuse of believing in conspiracy theories.
Was made to understand Rice is as happy as a lark and can’t wait to cut his vacation to have his medical done.
Here we (don’t) go, well not yet anyway. I’m sure it will be sorted but seems to be taking an extraordinary amount of time for the fat lady to sing (or not), as the case may be. 🤞🤞
We now again have got to consult our Conspiracy Oracle (Eni Aluko). Someone ask her What is the next step in this Pep / Arteta collusion movie?? Does Arteta have to call Pep once again and beg him to come in once again so that our payment structure is shortened instead of being longer?
That would be amazing..
Thank you very much 🙏👍🤞
Simple, someone wants to register the transaction in the next FY for obvious reasons! We all know the two clubs are just buying time. Can’t fool us!
Wetspam are on danger of FFP breaches, they need Rice paid off quicker. Arsenal knowall this and hold all the cards now. It will be who blinks first!!!!!!
Rice is an exceptional player and will surely take Arsenal to a new level and greater heights. He is one player on whom a team can rely upon at all times. He is a statement signing and hopefully we will win more and more trophies with Rice in the team.
