[cont] Man City also checked player’s side — understand Rice is open to any move so deal depends on the clubs now.

Arsenal, planning to bid again since last week. ⚪️🔴 #AFC

    I think Arseblog makes a really good point here.

    West Ham were surely always going to delay until City came in – plus they made the rejections public immediately.

    This was probably inevitable and in the best interest of West Ham to have a bidding war start.
