Arsenal launch second Rice bid

The North London club made an offer of a £75m transfer fee plus £15m of add ons bringing the total package to £90m.
Arsenal finally launch second bid
The first offer had initially been widely reported at £80m plus £10m of extras but this has now become known through our key source to be incorrect.
A key club source revealed the first bid was in fact just £60m plus £15m of add ons with a poor payment structure and add-on clauses that would be difficult to achieve.
Rice set for three week holiday
Declan Rice will now go on three weeks holiday which could further prolong the sale of the West Ham captain.
West Ham insist they are in no rush to sell their star player and want to hold out for the best possible price hoping to flush out more clubs with higher bids.
Officially the valuation including add-ons remains at £120m
