Arsenal set to make £90m offer for Declan Rice

The deal will come with some added implications though

Rice captained the Hammers to their first major trophy in 43 years on Wednesday night after they beat Fiorentina 2-1 in Prague to lift their first-ever European trophy.

Saïd Benrahma opened the scoring from the penalty spot before Giacomo Bonaventura equalised with a delicate touch and finish into the bottom corner.

However in the last minute of the game, Jarrod Bowen was set through on goal by Lucas Paquetá and remained cool as he slotted home the winner and wrote himself into West Ham folklore.

After the game, Rice insisted that he wasn't thinking about his future but conceded their had been interest.

"At the moment there's a lot of speculation going on about my future," he told BT Sport.

"There is interest from other clubs but ultimately I still have two years left at West Ham. I love this club and I love playing for this club."

Mikel Arteta has reportedly identified Rice - who is also admired by Bayern Munich - as his number one target this summer but is waiting to see what fee West Ham will demand for his services.

Another side also interested in Rice is Manchester United, however they are working with limited funds and may not be able to stump up the money that West Ham are likely to ask for, which is believed to be in the region of £100m.
