This afternoon, journalist Miguel Delaney reported that West Ham United and Arsenal were nearly in agreement on a transfer deal for Declan Rice.
The well-known and renowned journalist asserted that Arsenal would soon be able to finalize a deal for Rice in his Reading the Game newsletter published in The Independent at 12:04 PM on June 9, 2023.
According to the reporter, West Ham wants to pay Rice in two installments because they consider him to be “a diamond and a fabulous player” according to former Manchester United midfielder Owen Hargreaves on Premier League Productions (29/04/23 at 11:50 am).
Declan Rice from West Ham United may shortly be acquired by Arsenal.
The club has been revitalized by the greatest moment in West Ham’s recent history, and it has also provided some direction for the future, according to Delaney. Although it had been assumed for some time, David Sullivan has now announced that David Moyes will remain for a year.
“It will frustrate some managers who thought they had a chance at the West Ham United position and consider it as one of the more promising in football given that it is an upwardly mobile Premier League job in London.
However, Moyes will have to handle it without Declan Rice. The midfielder knows he needs to move on for the sake of his career even though the last week’s events certainly played on his emotions. The question is where to go.
“Arsenal has made progress, but they are still some distance behind West Ham United in terms of the purchase’s method. Although a fee has almost been agreed upon, West Ham insists that it only be paid in two installments.
Thrilling for Arsenal supporters
We think Miguel Delaney’s update on Declan Rice’s status is quite positive for Arsenal supporters.
One of the best and most reputable journalists working today, Delaney’s report that a cost has almost been agreed upon is fantastic news for Arsenal supporters.
Rice is one of the top midfielders available, and the England international would improve and strengthen the Gunners’ midfield.
It has already been reported that Arsenal has made a proposal for Rice, so perhaps an agreement between the two London clubs can be reached shortly.
Rice will depart West Ham this summer, the team has declared in the open.
Simply put, the transfer fee necessary to complete the deal must be paid by Arsenal.
