Speculation surrounding Declan Rice's long-rumored move to Arsenal may soon turn into reality, as West Ham United have dropped a significant hint.
The London clubs have reportedly been engaged in discussions regarding the financial terms of the deal, rumored to be valued at £100m with an additional £5m in add-ons.
If completed, this would make the England international not only the Gunners' most expensive signing ever but also set a new record for the highest transfer fee paid for a British player.
For the Hammers, the swift transfer of funds would be highly preferable as the club prepare for a demanding domestic and European campaign with a reported influx of over £100m in new talent, the 24-year-old will not be a part of their plans.
However, the official West Ham website has further fueled the speculation by removing their star's number 41 jersey from their online store, suggesting an imminent announcement of the player's departure.
