Arsenal have submitted a third bid worth \u00a3105m for West Ham and England midfielder Declan Rice.<\/p>\n

The Gunners have had\u00a0two bids\u00a0for the 24-year-old rejected after their offers fell short of the \u00a3100m West Ham want.<\/p>\n

However, it is understood the Hammers do not believe the structure of the latest bid is right.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, West Ham also rejected a\u00a0\u00a390m bid\u00a0from Treble winners Manchester City for Rice, whose contract expires in 2024.<\/p>\n

His current deal at the London Stadium has the option for a one-year extension until the summer of 2025.<\/p>\n

If Arsenal\u2019s bid of an initial \u00a3100m plus \u00a35m in add-ons is successful, the initial fee would equal the British record Manchester City paid for midfielder Jack Grealish.<\/p>\n

Earlier this month, England midfielder Jude Bellingham signed for Real Madrid for an initial \u00a388.5m, although that deal could reach \u00a3115m if add-ons are activated.<\/p>\n

Following the club\u2019s Europa Conference League victory over Fiorentina earlier this month, chairman David Sullivan said he was\u00a0\u201c99%\u201d sure\u00a0Rice would leave West Ham this summer.<\/p>\n

Rice has scored 15 goals in 245 games for West Ham, having made his debut in the 2016-17 season after coming through the academy.<\/p>\n

He has been capped 41 times by England, playing in all five of their matches at last winter\u2019s World Cup.<\/p>\n
