[Simon Stone] West Ham unimpressed by both the size and the structure of the offer. Arsenal will be back but West Ham anticipating Man City will come in for him. City exploring options currently.

This is exactly what it looks like. West Ham are trying to get the maximum price from us. City are probably still working on getting Gundogan to re-sign with them.

I know City spend a lot, but I don't think they often get into bidding wars and spend £100m+, do they?

So yeah, seems more like trying to get the max fee they can which, fair play to them.
