With the Gunners’ interest now withdrawn, RB Leipzig have reportedly slashed their asking price. Earlier in the window, Leipzig were hoping to land a fee between £68m and £85m for the player, who hit 13 Bundesliga goals last season. That price has dropped, however, with offers of £60.6m (€70m) now considered viable.

The Magpies had an initial offer, reportedly worth £65.4million with a further £4.3m in potential add-ons, rejected last week for the Slovenia international. | ITV News Tyne Tees
