It’s an open secret: Declan Rice will indeed become an Arsenal player. After several weeks of negotiations, West Ham finally gave in to the advances of the vice-champion of England for the transfer of the 24-year-old midfielder. The two Premier League residents have agreed on a transfer fee of 100 million pounds (115 million euros) plus 5 million bonuses. But eight days after agreeing, the operation has still not been completed and the Hammers are starting to get impatient as mentioned Sky Sportsthis Thursday.
In reality, the blockage is due to a delay in the preparation of the documents by the lawyers while the England international has already passed his medical examination successfully with the Gunners. The Hammers want to quickly recover the 115 million euros promised to reinject this sum into the transfer market and find his replacement. While the native of London is taking full advantage of his vacation in Portugal to keep in shape, for his part Arsenal definitely hopes to acquire the player before the start of his summer preparation which must take place in the United States. Note that the residents of the Emirates Stadium encounter the same difficulties with Jurriën Timber.
