John Cross of the Mirror then reported that the offer would be submitted today. This is with Arsenal believing they’re in pole position to make the signing.
A number of other sources then weighed in to confirm that the bid is imminent. These are with James Benge, Fabrizio Romano, and Sami Mokbel all reporting that it will be submitted within hours.
Mokbel wrote for the Daily Mail that Arsenal’s new offer is worth a “minimum” of £90m. But add-ons could push the fee closer to £100m.
Then, David Ornstein confirmed that the bid had been submitted, writing,
“It is anticipated the proposal of £75m and £15m in add-ons will be turned down by their Premier League rivals, but Arsenal are getting closer to a fee that West Ham are aiming to achieve if their captain is to depart.”
