Brighton have told Arsenal they must go higher for Ben White.
The Sun says Brighton are demanding £50million PLUS add-ons.
Arsenal's second bid of £42m — in an overall deal which could have been worth £45m — has now been turned down.
The clubs are locked in talks with Albion owner Tony Bloom refusing to back down.
Arsenal, whose first bid was £40m, are discussing a potential offer of £45m plus £5m in add-ons.
But Brighton still insist they want even more.
A string of other clubs had been interested in the England centre-back, 23, including PSG, Tottenham, Liverpool and Dortmund.
