Arsenal have made an improved verbal offer worth £60million for Chelsea German international Kai Havertz, Daily Mail reports.
The new package is understood to be worth a guaranteed £55million plus an extra £5m in bonuses.
Having seen their original offer of around £50million turned down by Chelsea last week, Arsenal have continued talks with Chelsea over agreeing a fee for the Germany international.
Those discussions accelerated over the weekend and Mail Sport now understands that a fresh verbal offer has been made.

Arsenal want to wrap a deal up quickly and already have a broad agreement in place over personal terms.
Havertz will be offered a long-term contract worth a minimum of £210,000-per-week.
The ball is now in Chelsea’s court over whether to agree to sell Havertz for £60m. The Blues value the forward between £70m-£75m
Pertinently, Havertz has already given the go-ahead to joining Arsenal provided the two clubs can agree a deal for his departure.
