Arsenal have reportedly seen a third bid for Monaco winger Thomas Lemar rejected.
The France international is Arsene Wenger's No1 target following the arrival of Alexandre Lacazette , but the Ligue 1 champions have so far dug their heels in.
After a second bid of €45million was rejected earlier this week, L'Equipe claim that a third €50million offer has also been turned down.
This comes after Monaco vice-president Vadim Vasilyev claimed that the Gunners target will not be leaving the club this summer.
"Fabinho and [Thomas] Lemar are essential players, they will stay with us," he said on Wednesday. "We have kept all of the key players we intended to keep."
The French champions have reportedly set an £80million price tag on the 21-year-old, with Arsenal unlikely to go that high.
Bernardo Silva, Tiemoue Bakayoko, Benjamin Mendy and Valere Germain have all been sold this summer, as the Champions League semi-finalists have seen several of their promising young talents snapped up for big-money fees.
Kylian Mbappe also continues to be linked with a move away from the club, with Real Madrid said to be readying a world record bid.
Meanwhile, Alexis Sanchez's return to Arsenal training could be in doubt after he took to Instagram to reveal that he is sick.
