West Ham believe Arsenal's third offer for their captain Declan Rice is imminent amid hope the transfer saga is reaching its conclusion.
As of 3pm on Friday afternoon, the Hammers were still waiting on the Gunners' improved official offer after their most recent bid worth £90million was rejected.
But it is understood that West Ham are aware of Arsenal's intention to bid again for Rice, who is valued at a minimum £100million by Hammers chairman David Sullivan.
There is an understanding at Arsenal that their next bid will have to be much closer to West Ham's valuation.
