Report reveals date that Declan Rice wants to join Arsenal Football Club

West Ham United have turned down a second bid from Arsenal for their captain, Declan Rice. The bid was worth up to £90m, with £75m being the base fee and an additional £15m in add-ons. The pursuit of Rice by Arsenal has been ongoing for some time now, and it seems that the player is determined to move to the London club before end of June as per The Athletic.

Rice had a fantastic season with West Ham United, scoring four goals and providing two assists in the recently ended season. He was one of the players that helped West Ham United escape relegation and also helped them win the UEFA Europa Conference trophy. His performances have caught the attention of several top clubs in Europe, including Arsenal.

Arsenal had a great season themselves, finishing second in the Premier League table behind Manchester City. They were in a fierce title race with Manchester City but lost out on the trophy after a defeat against Nottingham Forest in their 37th game week. Despite leading the league table for 10 months this season, they finished with 84 points while Manchester City finished with 89 points and were crowned champions.

The pursuit of Rice by Arsenal is not surprising given their need for a defensive midfielder. Rice would be an excellent addition to their squad and would provide them with much-needed stability in midfield. However, West Ham United are not willing to let go of their captain easily.

Rice is determined to move to Arsenal and has set his heart on completing the move by the end of June. This should leave Arsenal in a strong position as they look to strengthen their squad ahead of next season. However, it remains to be seen whether they will be able to convince West Ham United to part ways with their captain.

In conclusion, it is clear that Declan Rice is one of the most sought-after players in Europe at present. His performances for West Ham United have been outstanding, and he would be an excellent addition to any top club in Europe. Arsenal’s pursuit of Rice is ongoing, and it remains to be seen whether they will be able to convince West Ham United to let go of their captain.
