Declan Rice’s move to Arsenal is edging closer as terms have been agreed upon.
The 24-year-old is moving ever closer to securing a move from West Ham to Arsenal after both clubs reached an agreement earlier this week. The midfielder is set to undergo a medical on Friday.
With the midfielder now going over the finer details of the move, it won’t be too long before we see Rice in an Arsenal shirt.
Rice was the Gunners’ number one target this summer, and being so close to making the move official, the English international is likely feeling all kinds of emotions.
There is no doubt a willingness for Rice to want to get down to business sooner rather than later with his new club, as some Arsenal players are already back from their offseason holidays.
While we aren’t sure when Rice can be expected to begin training with Arsenal, there is a thought it will still be a few weeks away.
Nevertheless, hearing something so positive from Rice about coming to the club will no doubt fill Arsenal fans’ hearts with joy, and he will likely become a crowd favourite from the first time he steps onto the pitch.
With both Rice and Jurrien Timber’s moves expected to be wrapped up rather quickly, Arsenal’s focus should now switch to outgoings before any further incomings occur.
Things have moved swiftly over the last few days, with Arsenal getting two massive deals over the line.
Everything is coming up Arsenal.
