Man City dropped out of the race after Arsenal made a £105m bidGetty
Aluko made a splash on social media yesterday by claiming that City only made a bid for Rice to help out title rivals Arsenal.
The former England star said Mikel Arteta called on Pep Guardiola to submit an offer, with the Treble winner agreeing solely on the basis of prompting Arsenal chiefs into making a higher bid.
Aluko, who partied with Laura Woods at Glastonbury, received a backlash from some football fans, with many questioning her theory.
But she reckons she’s now having the last laugh after City dropped out of the race for Rice.
Etihad chiefs believe Arsenal are overpaying for the Three Lions midfielder with their new £105m offer.
And City have no intention of breaking the bank for a player who would not even be guaranteed a starting role in their XI.
Aluko took to Twitter claiming that the “backtracking has begun.”
And she added: “Oh hi Twitter. You’re still here. If I speak…

“And I will be speaking on this one.”
Many fans thought Aluko’s response to doubters was spot on.
One said: “Gotta respect it.”
Another declared: “Had everyone on strings, well played.”
One noted: “Haha cook these Twitter kids Eni.”
Another added: “Eniiii cook them.”
