TRANSFER UPDATE! West Ham FRUSTRATED with Arsenal hold-up over Rice! 🛑

A bit of breaking news reaching us, West Ham are becoming increasingly frustrated, we're told, about the delay with the deal to sell Declan Rice to Arsenal. Now the £105m deal has been agreed, that was eight days ago, but so far this deal has not been signed and West Ham are still waiting to sign the contracts. Now the hold-up is being caused by delays with paperwork being drawn up by Arsenal's lawyers. And as far as West Ham are aware, Rice has passed his Arsenal medical. However, still no deal done announcement. He's been training regularly on holiday in Portugal, but as things stand, still not quite an Arsenal player and West Ham, it would seem, are getting frustrated with the delays. They, of course, will have their own transfer plans, you would imagine, for which they will be relying on some of the finances raised from the sale of Rice to push ahead with those. So an intriguing situation and one that you expect would get sorted sooner rather than later. So it's certainly a frustration we're hearing on the West Ham side about this deal and the delays taking place currently.
