The Gunners have agreed to pay the Hammers a British record £105 million, £100 million of which will be guaranteed irrespective of the Englishman’s performances.
West Ham are happy with that, but the structure of the deal is causing a delay. The two sides are still in talks to come to a conclusion and Romano has claimed that it is very close now.
He also dismissed a rumour that he had heard yesterday that a deal was about to collapse after Arsenal and West Ham walked away from talks.
He said: “What I can say guys is this is really close. Trust me, really, really close for Declan Rice to Arsenal.
“The rumours that circulated today on social media about Arsenal or West Ham walking away from the deal, at the moment, I’m told this is not correct, while I’m speaking. The negotiation is very advanced. It’s really at the final bits, they are discussing the final points of this story.
“The medical has not been booked yet, but it will happen in the next days if everything goes to plan. So, no worries, Arsenal fans. Declan Rice is really close and it’s about the final discussions on the payment terms to get it done.”
