Arsenal would reportedly have to fork out a fee of £15m if they want to land Stoke City starlet Nathan Collins.
The centre-back, who is also capable of playing on the right-hand side, quickly became a regular for the Potters over the festive period, and he has played the full 90 minutes in his side's last 13 Championship matches.
Collins has supposedly garnered interest from Arsenal and several other top-flight clubs following his breakthrough campaign, but Stoke are not willing to let him leave on the cheap.
According to TEAMtalk, Michael O'Neill's side will swiftly reject any offers below £15m, and it may take an even higher bid to prise the 19-year-old away from the Bet365 Stadium.
The report also claims that Burnley have already tabled a bid just short of £5m for the Republic of Ireland Under-21s international, but Stoke were quick to rebuff the Clarets' advances.
Collins still has three-and-a-half years left to run on his deal with the Championship side.
