So, the dreaded offer from Man City for Arsenal’s top transfer target Declan Rice has finally arrived, with Pep Guardiola’s side equalling our best offer so far.

The Arsenal transfer guru David Ornstein was first to reveal details of the deal when he tweeted….

so, now the ante has been upped and it is now Arsenal’s turn to stick or twist, or even better out-trump Guardiola!

These are terrible analogies, but it is definitely now going to turn into a game of poker and we will be watching to see who blinks first….

Of course this morning, we were guaranteed to get an update from Fabrizio Romano, and sure enough he has just tweeted this good news for the Gunners…..

So, boys and girls, it is time for us to get the popcorn out and watch the game from the stands. Are we all still hopeful that Declan Rice will a Gunner next season?
