The Rice “bomb” went off in Arsenal!
As Fabrizio Romano informed, the “gunners” reached a full agreement with West Ham for the acquisition of the talented English defensive midfielder, with the deal “closing” in 116 million euros amount which can be launched even to 120 million with bonuses!
The 24-year-old international midfielder is expected to go to North London in the next few days to undergo the standard medical tests and after signing his contract will be the most expensive English footballer and also the most expensive transfer in the history of Arsenal!
In fact, in the next few days, Mikel Arteta’s team is going to complete its agreement with Ajax to make Jurien Timber theirs as well!
We recall that the Guardian had revealed that Arsenal will “repay” West Ham for Rice in three installments over a period of two years.
