On deadline day, Arsenal signed Chelsea’s Jorginho, as Brighton priced them out of a move for Moises Caicedo in the end.

According to The Telegraph, Arsenal was in fact ready to part ways with £70m in January to sign Rice.

The Hammers rejected any overtures for their captain as they aim to finish the 2022/2023 season in a respectable position.

There is however an acceptance that the England international would be allowed to move to new pastures in the summer.
