The England midfielder is poised to join the Gunners in a deal worth up to £105m including add-ons. That would represent a British record, topping the £100m Manchester City paid Aston Villa for Jack Grealish in 2021. Rice was spotted training in Portugal as he waits for the deal to be made official. He has been unable to link up with his new club in time to feature in their pre-season friendly against Nurnberg, while West Ham didn't involve the club captain in their own midweek friendly against Boreham Wood. According to Sky Sports, West Ham have been promised the relevant paperwork will be "delivered and signed" on Friday. The same report suggests Rice may well be confirmed as an Arsenal player by the time the club jets off for a pre-season tour of the United States, while The Telegraph notes that Rice's holiday in Portugal has got in the way of final details being 'signed and sealed'. The same goes for Jurrien Timber, who is due to join from Ajax. The Dutch defender has agreed terms on a deal worth an initial £40m, but his move has not yet been made official. One man who has already linked up with his new team-mates is Kai Havertz. The Germany star, a £65m arrival from Chelsea, was named among Mikel Arteta's substitutes for the Nurnberg game.
