Arsenal have rejected bids from Fulham and Crystal Palace for forward Emile Smith Rowe.
Discussions are ongoing internally at both clubs over whether to go back in with an improved offer.
Sky Sports News understands Smith Rowe wants to assess all his options - regular first-team football is his primary motivation.
The 23-year-old has two years left on his Arsenal contract.
Smith Rowe struggled for minutes under Mikel Arteta's at the Gunners last season, making just 13 Premier League appearances for last season's top-flight runners-up.
