Arsenal was ready to sign West Ham United captain, Declan Rice when it became apparent that Moises Caicedo would not be allowed to move to another club, reports in the English media revealed Sunday evening.
The Gunners landed Jakub Kiwior from Spezia, while Leandro Trossard arrived from Brighton.
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.

It’s been suggested the Hammers will look for more than £100m for Rice. The recent purchase of Enzo Fernandez for £106m is believed to be influencing those inside the Hammers.
