Arsenal have rejected a second offer from Aston Villa for Emile Smith Rowe.
The Gunners knocked back an initial bid of £25 million ($35m) from Villa for their young playmaker two weeks ago and made it clear that he was not for sale.
Tthat stance has not put off the midlands outfit, who have now returned with an improved offer for the 20-year-old.
How much was the bid?
Villa upped their initial offer for Smith Rowe by £5m ($7m), submitting an official bid of £30m ($42m) for the England Under-21s international.
Arsenal rejected it out of hand once again, reiterating their stance that the player is not for sale.
