Hammers chairman David Sullivan confirmed to talkSPORT last week that Rice has played his final game for the club.
His last appearance saw him lift the Europa Conference League, the first major trophy of his career.
Rice will be hoping to bring such success with him to whichever club he signs for next, and talkSPORT understands Arsenal are leading the race ahead of Manchester United and Bayern Munich.
However, Gunners fans believe his switch to north London is all-but done after he was spotted arriving for England duty.
When meeting his teammates at St George’s Park, he hugged Aaron Ramsdale and was all smiles when he saw Bukayo Saka.
Both have been crucial for Arsenal this season, and supporters are hoping the trio will play for club as well as country next season.
One fan tweeted the eyes emoji with: “Agent Aaron.”
“Saka and Ramsdale you know what to do,” added another.
A third said: “Nice to see all the arsenal players linking up together internationally.”

Rice will leave West Ham after almost a decade at a club in which he has made 245 appearances across all competitions.
Following his Europa Conference League success, the 24-year-old will now switch his focus to England duty.
The Three Lions will face Malta on Friday night and North Macedonia on June 19 in EURO 2024 qualifiers, both matches you can listen to live on talkSPORT.
