West Ham 'are encouraging Arsenal to make third bid for Declan Rice to end the saga'... with Manchester City 'yet to launch a formal bid' for the Hammers star

West Ham United are reportedly encouraging Arsenal to make a third bid for Declan Rice to finally end the transfer saga.

The Gunners have been heavily linked with a move for the England international and have already seen two bids rejected.

Pressure is on for Mikel Arteta's side as Manchester City are in the race for Rice and could look to hijack a move, despite not yet making an official bid.

TalkSPORT report that the Irons are now encouraging Arsenal to submit a third bid for Rice to bring a 'speedy end to the saga'.
