Arsenal are set to return with a third bid for Declan Rice, after seeing their second offer for the West Ham United midfielder turned down. Arsenal had made an initial offer of £80m, and they followed it up with a £90m bid this week, but both were rejected. West Ham are still hoping to receive £100m, with the belief that Manchester City are weighing up a rival offer. It’s hard to say whether another club is really set to enter the bidding for Rice. Many reliable reports have hinted at City interest, along with the likes of Chelsea and Manchester United. But reports of a second club preparing a bid for Rice have emerged repeatedly over the last week or two, and so far they’ve never been followed up with reports of an actual bid being placed. The Daily Mail confirm that Arsenal will return with a third offer for Rice, with Sami Mokbel writing that Arsenal are willing to meet Rice’s £100m valuation, and their next offer will be closer to that mark.

The Ecuador international looked destined to join Chelsea this summer, though negotiations are ‘not close’ with the Stamford Bridge outfit.

Thomas Partey is among those who could depart, with Saudi clubs circling in hope of landing the Ghana international. Thus, Arsenal could add another top-quality player to their midfield ranks – with Caicedo still admired. Earlier this summer, Arteta intended on signing both the Brighton star and  Declan Rice  but the finances involved became a deterrent and they prioritised the latter, who recently arrived...

YOU DESERVE IT’: PLAYER MIKEL ARTETA LET GO REACTS TO ARSENAL SIGNING DECLAN RICE

  Ainsley Maitland-Niles has told Declan Rice that he ‘deserves’ his transfer to Arsenal following his club-record move from West Ham United. The Arsenal fans had to wait a while, but Declan Rice is now their player after £105 million was put on the table for his signature, as reported by Sky Sports. Whilst Rice enters the door, the man who has just left, Ainsley Maitland-Niles, has just ended his long stay with the club after his contract expired and he had nothing but kind words to say about the former Hammers captain on Instagram.  Whilst Maitland-Niles, who was on-loan at Southampton last season, is no longer associated with Arsenal, it’s pretty obvious that he will still follow how his former club fair in their quest to win the Premier League title again. The Hale-End academy product won the FA Cup during his time at the Emirates, but it’s becoming champions of England which the fans crave the most. Nonetheless, this was the following message Maitland-Niles sent to Rice a...
