Arsenal are struggling to find agreement with Everton for defender Phil Jagielka.
The Daily Mail says discussions with Everton over an improved £15million offer for Jagielka are in deadlock.
The Gunners have already had a £12million bid refused by the Toffees but are keen to strike a deal for Jagielka.
Everton want around £18million for Jagielka but Arsenal are hesitant to even go as high as £15m given the fact he is 29 this month.
Sources close to Jagielka have told the Daily Mail that the central-defender is resigned to staying at Goodison Park given Arsenal's reluctance to pay part with the £15million that would give them a chance of signing him.
