Arsenal transfer talks 'break down' after price tag deemed too excessive

RB Leipzig are set to walk away from any potential deal to sign Arsenal youngster Folarin Balogun, according to Sky Sports transfer guru Philipp Hinze.

Balogun has enjoyed a stellar season on loan at Ligue 1 outfit Reims, netting 18 league goals - a tally that reads even more impressive when you consider that he is still just 21-years-old. That kind of form has seen him linked with a number of clubs across Europe, with the player himself said to be keen to leave the Gunners permanently in the summer if he isn't likely to get considerable game time in north London.

Now, the aforementioned Hinze has reported that the New York-born striker is unlikely to be heading to RB Leipzig because Arsenal value him at around £35million, a price that the Bundesliga side deem as excessive.
