If confirmed, the 24-year-old Rice will become the most expensive English player in Premier League history. From the summer of 2021, this primacy is held by Jack Grealish, for whom Manchester City paid Aston Villa 100 million pounds.
West Ham had previously given Rice permission to undergo a medical at Arsenal and today took to social media to announce the player’s departure from the club.
Rice joined West Ham in 2014 from Chelsea’s academy and developed into a key player for the Hammers. Since his debut for the A-team in May 2017, he has played 245 competitive matches, having captained the team to triumph in the European Conference League the previous season. He played 43 games for the Rice national team and scored three goals.
