West Ham are now angry with Arsenal over their delay in announcing the signing of Declan Rice.
The Hammers feel that the delay would make them miss out on their own targets.
Both clubs have already reached an agreement on a £100million plus £5m in add-ons for the England international.
Rice, according to reports in England, has also passed his medicals but Arsenal is yet to announce an agreement to sign Rice.
Some Gunners fans have started to get a little nervous over the lack of updates and now The Sun is reporting that West Ham are fuming over the delay.
The Gunners’ lawyers are yet to sign Rice’s contract even though personal terms were agreed weeks ago and West Ham don’t understand why it is taking so long.
It is claimed that a ‘bitter taste’ has been left over the way Arsenal have conducted the deal, both now and throughout the entire negotiations.
West Ham’s hierarchy have long grown tired of how drawn-out the process has become and their own transfer activity has been put on hold until the situation is resolved.
The east Londoners are yet to make any signing this summer but are watching rivals press ahead with moves for players they want to sign.
