There is still no confirmation on the Declan Rice deal. And Arsenal are in talks to make it happen. However, the official entry of Manchester City into this transfer saga, clearly creates problems for the Gunners. They will want to wrap up the deal, as quickly as possible, with the Hammers keen on selling too.
It is being stated that the player wants to move to the Emirates. However, haven’t we heard that one before already!? And so the Gooners across the globe wait in anticipation. They hope that their club can deliver the promised midfielder. However, in football, anything can happen!!
Arsenal Have Now An Alternative To Declan Rice As Per Reports; If The Deal Fails To Happen!!
A big club like Arsenal surely needs to have some backup plans. Just like in the case of Mudryk, if the deal does not happen, there need to be alternatives lined up that the club are willing to sign. And though, for majority of the transfer saga, there were none realistically. Now, it seems that there could be a player that the club might turn to. That is, if the Rice deal fails to happen!!
🚨 حسب @SamiMokbel81_DM ..
ارسنال سيقدم العرض الثالث خلال 48 ساعة القادمة .. من المفهوم انه قريب من تقييم ويستهام 100 مليون باوند..
إذا لم يتمكن آرسنال من التوقيع مع رايس، فإن لاعب وسط موناكو يوسف فوفانا (24 عام) يمكن أن يكون خيارا بديلا محتملا. pic.twitter.com/N7eR4YLV9k

Well, this is just one backup that is being discussed at present. Let’s see if Arsenal do mess up the Declan Rice or will they get it done!!?
What Is The Latest Offer Made For The West Ham Skipper!?
It seems that the Gunners have gone ahead and made an improved offer. They have offered £105m to the Hammers, with better payment terms. This should be enough to get the deal over the line, as per the club.
But with West Ham, you never know!! They might get greedy and wait for what Manchester City wants to offer next. And this could go on till the end of the transfer window, when one offer is accepted. Which club that is, is still not certain. But Arsenal are the favourites, as Declan Rice wants to sign for them.
It has been confirmed in multiple reports that he wishes to stay in London. And that is what the idea of this transfer saga seems to be. Arsenal want to get a deal done, the player wants the club, but it’s the Hammers that want more.
Now, this is bound to benefit them at the end of it all. But, which player ends up getting Declan Rice, remains to be seen. As per what is going on at present, there could be a long and wavy road ahead in this transfer saga.
Both Arsenal and Manchester City will try to get the player. However, only one of the two top teams in the League from last season, will be able to capture him. Let’s wait and watch!!
