“I think the first bid obviously didn’t meet with West Ham’s demands. We would say that Arsenal will know before this second bid goes in. I thought it would have gone in by now I have to admit, it hasn’t.
“I would suggest that the reason for that is Arsenal and West Ham are trying to make sure that both clubs are much closer to a number before that second bid goes in to avoid any more disruption.
“Obviously, Declan Rice is away at the moment as well which doesn’t exactly help for getting a deal done and he’s not here to get it over the line.
“I think there are a few factors. But I would suggest the main thing is that Arsenal before the second bid goes in. Arsenal want to be a lot more certain about exactly what West Ham want and whether this bid will be very close to getting it done.”
Arsenal plan to get all the deals done before the start of preseason.
