West Ham reveal truth on “second Arsenal bid”

West Ham have again confirmed there has been no second bid for Declan Rice despite widespread reports to the contrary.

The Gooners have made no improvement at all on the £80 million plus £10 million extras which the Hammers immediately snubbed out of hand.

West Ham reveal no second bid from Arsenal

But several reports in the mainstream press this morning (Tues) claim that another has – or is about – to be put in but speaking to Claret and Hugh exclusively our top source denied anything has happened since the first refusal.

Meanwhile, it has also been reported that Declan expects to be a Gooner by the end of June but there remains no sign of that being the case at all.

Chelsea, Manchester United and Manchester City are all expected to come in for the player and this one looks set to run and run – certainly into July.

Our source explained: “There has been no second offer from Arsenal, nor have we heard through intermediaries that one is on the way. We are in no rush to sell Declan – these are early days in the window.”
