West Ham are planning to complete the transfer of Declan Rice to Arsenal by Monday.
While the Hammers have agreed to sell Rice to the Gunners for a record fee, they have yet to reach agreement on the payment structure.
However, there is clearly a mutual willingness from both clubs to find a resolution to this issue. According to our sources West Ham is eager to finalise the deal by Monday.
And despite reports to the contrary we have been told regularly today that the two sides are coming much closer and there are just a couple of “battles ” to win.
The Monday deadline is a very good time for everyone involved so that we can sort out this deal and move on to the next one and see if we can finish our business before the pre-season begins.
And with Tim Steidten now in place as our technical director the timing looks to be spot on!
