Journalist Charles Watts clarifies why Arsenal haven’t made another bid for West Ham Declan Rice as other clubs might enter the race now.
Speaking on his YouTube Channel, Watts gives update on Rice’s current situation. Arsenal to will be eager to make this move happen.
For months now, Gunners have been monitoring the English midfielder. However, now the transfer market open, Arsenal are in pole position to sign Rice.
The first bid was turned down by West Ham United, as Hammers believes that Rice is worth atleast £100m. Arsenal expected to make the second bid for the midfielder, but it hasn’t been submitted yet.
However, Journalist Charles Watts explains the current situation and said :-
“Arsenal are in talks with West Ham over Declan Rice, they’re trying to come to a successful conclusion to those talks.
“I think the first bid obviously didn’t meet with West Ham’s demands.
Arsenal will know before this second bid goes in, I thought it would have gone in by now I have to admit, it hasn’t.
Arsenal and West Ham are trying to make sure that both clubs are much closer to a number before that second bid goes in to avoid any more disruption.
“Obviously, Declan Rice is away at the moment as well which doesn’t exactly help for getting a deal done and he’s not here to get it over the line.
“I think there are a few factors but I would suggest the main thing is that Arsenal before the second bid goes in want to be a lot more certain about exactly what West Ham want and whether this bid will be very close to getting it done.”
