Where is this coming from? Is there any evidence at all that this is true?

Most of the papers and websites were reporting this at the end of last year

West Ham have tonight admitted they are in the dark over the completion of the Declan Rice deal. Reports from Sky Sports have said the delay is down to Arsenal lawyers but club insiders are at a loss to know what is happening after days of delays.
Asking a senior club source this evening to comment on Sky reports the response came back to 6foot2 "The Rice contract is supposed to be with their lawyers but WHO KNOWS what is going on"

The same Sky Sports news that had the headline Rice signing for City!

I doubt it but it's possible... when you sell debt on you dont usually get anything like the value of the original debt but yeah - certainly possible

Football debts are ring fenced. When Pompey nearly went to the wall the players & clubs got paid in full, while the laymen got the usually penny in the pound

Shut the door on your way out.

This is kind of funny but also very worrying for Rice. It’s exactly what they didn’t want. He agreed to arsenal move because they made it clear they really wanted him.

Having had Chelsea shaft him in two summer windows and city ask a lot without ever really throwing their lot in, having Arsenal do this now is going to really piss his team off

I think the reality of splashing the cash & remaining within FFP limits is beginning to hit the red tops.

The three of em need to heavily invest just to compete for a top four spot, BUT at the risk of falling foul of the FFP rules they brought in to stop City from competing with them!

Arsenal know the calibre of player required, but their current spend coupled with what they've spent over the last 3 seasons & what they STILL need will push them dangerously close to failing FFP.

Be careful what you wish for innit? :-)

Arsenal are scaping for money or are talking to Real about Tchouameni or Valverde?
