Now Manchester City is officially out of the race and only Arsenal are left, who still don't seem to want to give up. The previous offer of 90 million was still not eyed by West ham. Now it's just a matter of waiting whether Arsenal will also give up or will continue to force West Ham but indeed if you look at the conditions I think sooner or later it will be West ham who will give up on Rice because if a big offer is rejected again then they will lose Rice very miserably next season.
Manchester City is one of many teams that were in the race for Rice that have backed down and it won't take Arsenal much days to also follow same path by looking for an equal or better alternative to Rice if west Ham still stuck to their guns on keeping him at £100m. For a club like Arsenal they won't go beyond the £90m they have placed for Rice and the clock is ticking.
Despite I continuous stand on how way too high the price, but looking at his stats hitherto, am convince he's going to perform more outstandingly well next season at Arsenal under artetha if only West Ham would let him lose at the £90m.
