Everton have rejected a £14m offer from Arsenal for defender Phil Jagielka, according to the Sunday Mirror.
The 27-year-old has impressed since making the move to Goodison Park from Sheffield United three years ago.
And with both William Gallas and Sol Campbell heading out of the Emirates Stadium this summer, Gunners boss Arsene Wenger is eager to strengthen at the back.
But Toffees boss David Moyes is keen to keep hold of his stars this summer, including Jagielka, Mikel Arteta and Steven Pienaar, and Arsenal will reportedly return with a £16m to test his resolve.
