The leaders of West Ham are waiting for the next financial offer from Arsenal, for the card of Declan Rice. The club rejected the second offer of the "gunners" for the midfielder, which was in the figure of 90 million pounds, while waiting for the involvement of Manchester City in the talks.
According to the English media, West Ham is fully convinced that Arsenal will make another offer for Rice, which is valued at least in the figures of 100 million pounds, by the president of the club, David Sullivan. The news that Manchester City is ready to jump into the race has made Arsenal leaders focus their efforts on reaching an agreement as soon as possible for the Englishman's card.
This is because the Londoners know very well that the financial capacity of Manchester City can turn into a serious problem, if the latter decide to come with an official offer. In addition, Arsenal will pay 70 million pounds for the card of Kai Havertz from Chelsea. The player is expected to earn a salary of at least £210 per week. The Londoners are also looking to sign Ajax talent Jurrien Timber, while Southampton's Romeo Lavia is also a target.
Meanwhile, Thomas Partey and Granit Xhaka are expected to leave the club this summer. Even if Arsenal receive satisfactory financial sums for the cards of the two players, the cost of Havertz and Rice, if a deal is reached, will be much greater.
Xhaka is expected to join German Bayer Leverkusen in the case of Rice's approach, while Partey has interest from several clubs in Saudi Arabia. There is also interest in Partey from clubs in Serie A. Meanwhile, at Arsenal, the future of Rob Holding and Kieran Tierney is also unclear.
