Arsenal appear to be edging closer to signing Declan Rice after eagle-eyed fans noticed that his shirt is no longer available to buy on West Ham’s club website. With the Rice shirt now being unavailable for purchase, it suggests the move is all but confirmed.

Hammers chiefs want all of the £105m by the start of 2025 whereas the Gunners would prefer financially to stagger the payment over a longer period of time.
Rice is believed to have agreed personal terms and wants the deal to be wrapped up as soon as possible.
A medical could be scheduled for early next week with Arsenal set to complete their second summer signing. Kai Havertz’s move from Chelsea was confirmed on Wednesday with the Germany international becoming the Gunners’ highest paid player. He’ll earn £330,000 per week with Rice expected to be on a similar wage.
