RB Leipzig have told Arsenal to include Emile Smith Rowe in their offer for Dayot Upamecano, the Daily Mail reports.

The Gunners have already had a bid of £55million rejected for the French defender.

However, negotiations are ongoing with Leipzig keen on having Emile Smith Rowe as part of the deal.

The Bundesliga side want the 19-year-old midfielder either on loan or as a permanent move.

Arsenal are hopeful an agreement can be reached for Upamecano before the transfer window closes on Thursday evening.

The Premier League side value Smith Rowe at £25m.
