Arsenal are reportedly about to confirm the signing Declan Rice from West Ham United finally. It has been more than a week since Arsenal and West Ham agreed on a fee to move Rice across London.
Additionally, the midfielder is said to have passed his medicals and reached a personal contract with his potential new team.
However, Arsenal have not yet made a decision on the signing of Rice. Some people have begun to wonder if the move will truly take place as a result.
For example, Jorginho – who joined Arsenal from Chelsea in January but could quickly be pushed down the midfield pecking order by Rice’s arrival – has answered a fan’s question on social media about when the West Ham man will be joining, by responding: “Good question. No idea” with some laughing emojis.

According to Sky Sports News, they have made a ‘promise’ to the ‘increasingly frustrated’ West Ham that they will finalise the paperwork for the Rice transfer today (Friday).
