Declan Rice gets ‘back at it’ on pre-season run as Arsenal fans notice big transfer hint on training gear

Rice's £105million move from East to North London will see him become the Premier League transfer record for a British player - and second in all-time British transfers after Jude Bellingham.

There was a minor discrepancy with the payment structure of the deal, but this was sorted out quickly.

The hold-up now reportedly stems from Arsenal lawyers combing through the wording of the deal before giving it the green light.

However, while Rice - for now at least - remains unannounced as the Gunners record signing, eagle-eyed fans have spotted a key detail in his latest training pics which seems to give a huge transfer hint.

Taking to Instagram, the 24-year-old shared pictures of himself training at The Campus in Algarve, Portugal.

The snaps, which showed Rice hitting the gym and going for a run, also showed him in an Adidas training kit.

And the lack of West Ham training gear appears to suggest Rice is edging closer to a deal.

This being said, Rice himself is partnered with the sportswear brand, which also manufactures Arsenal's kits.
