The Declan Rice transfer saga has seemingly been ongoing for a very long time, with Arsenal and Manchester City both keen to complete a transfer this summer.
Mikel Arteta's side have seen two offers for Rice rejected by the Hammers before City entered the fray with a bid of their own on Monday evening. football.london understands their offer was £80million guaranteed with an additional £10million in add-ons, one that was also rebuffed by the east London club.
Arsenal's most recent offer was £75million+£15million but football.london understands that the Citizens' proposal was more upfront compared to the Gunners whilst also paying in fewer instalments. Their add-ons were also seen as more achievable, which has been key for West Ham throughout the negotiation process.
