Arsenal have reportedly had a stunning offer worth £105 million (R2.4 billion) accepted by their London rivals on Wednesday night, after Manchester City withdrew their interest in the player.
The Citizens are believed to have submitted a formal proposal for Rice's signature earlier this week, but saw their advances turned down as Arsenal remained confident of landing the Hammers' captain's signature.
Rice enjoyed an impressive 2022/23 campaign at West Ham as he made 50 appearances across all competitions, captaining his side to UEFA Europa Conference League triumph.
