According to Fabrizio Romano, Arsenal discussed there plans with Rice and they are now confident to getting this deal done for the West Ham captain. The Journalist posted on his Twitter account :-
“Arsenal will enter into crucial stages of Declan Rice deal next week. Official bid expected very soon after positive talks in the recent days.
“Gunners feel they’re ahead of Bayern as player priority is to continue in England — but timing will be crucial for Arsenal.”
Rice is in great form, as West Ham United won the UEFA Europa Conference League last month. After the finals, the 24-year-old admitted that interest was there from other big clubs.
