Declan Rice was on a booking for 80 minutes. Didn't hide, just grew into it and became more powerful. Defensive midfielder who has ensured England are yet to concede a goal. If you don't rate him you don't know what you're watching.

Chelsea are willing to go to £85m for Fofana and believe that would be enough to get him. Would take their spending over £200m and could be more beyond that (FDJ, Casadei, Auba targeted). So are they going to be able to make anything back on sales?

Ahem. West Ham have not accepted Arsenal’s latest bid of £105m for Declan Rice. They are not happy with the payment structure proposed by Arsenal. Talks ongoing - offer itself not rejected out of hand - and West Ham expecting City to bid tomorrow
Unless there’s something even bigger on the way it’s hard to make a case for West Ham not to accept £105m. Rice’s preference has been Arsenal for a while and they’ve met the asking price. At some point West Ham need to move on and start planning for next season.
