In early July, West Ham accepted a £105 million offer from the Gunners, with a £100 million upfront payment and £5 million in add-ons.

SunSport reported that Arsenal's lawyers have yet to sign a contract with Declan Rice despite personal terms being agreed and the English midfielder passing a medical .

West Ham boss is tired of the lengthy transfer process and Arsenal's confusing delays.

Up to now, the East London team has not made any moves to buy new players because they want to wait for the Declan Rice transfer to be completed.

West Ham are likely to miss out on signing Harvey Barnes from Leicester, as Newcastle are in a fierce battle. They have also not made an official offer to Fulham for Joao Palhinha.

Declan Rice himself is training in Portugal with several other players such as Bruno Fernandes, Joao Cancelo and Rafael Leao.

Declan Rice is Mikel Arteta's priority target to clean up his midfield. Granit Xhaka has joined Leverkusen, while Thomas Partey's future is a big question mark.

Earlier, Arsenal announced the £65 million signing of Kai Havertz. Jurrien Timber is also on his way to the Emirates Stadium after Arsenal agreed a fee of £34.5 million with Ajax.
