Arsenal are said to not understand Shakhtar Donetsk's high valuation of January transfer target Mykhaylo Mudryk.
The Gunners are tipped to be busy in January as they look to stay in front in the Premier League title race. The loss of Gabriel Jesus, who faces a spell on the sidelines after knee surgery, means attacking reinforcements are the order of the day.
Ukraine star Mudryk is among the targets, with Arsenal's opening gambit of around £55m including add-ons falling short of Shakhtar's valuation. Talks between the clubs are ongoing, but Mikel Arteta's side are not convinced by the €100m asking price from the selling club.
