Arsenal are said to have a verbal agreement to take Declan Rice to the Emirates this summer in what could be a £100million transfer.
West Ham are resigned to losing their captain while the Gunners were previously described as frontrunners for his signature.
Now, journalist Luke Edwards has stated that there is a verbal agreement to take Rice to north London next season as a potential Granit Xhaka replacement, though the two clubs will still have to iron out a fee.
He told the Football Daily podcast: “Arsenal are supposedly, and have been quite like Real Madrid with Bellingham, they’ve supposedly got this deal verbally agreed with somebody that he’ll come to Arsenal.
“But West Ham are being sensible, they realise he won’t sign a new contract and they’re trying to maximise what they will get for him.”
