Newcastle have made a fresh approach for Arsenal pair Jack Wilshere and Lucas Perez.

Toon boss Rafa Benitez is getting frustrated in the transfer market and has so far been priced out of deals even though Arsenal are ready to do business.

Arsenal want their money back on misfit Perez who joined from Deportivo La Coruna last summer for £17m and Wilshere has one year left on his current contract.

England midfielder Wilshere has been told he can go but Newcastle could look to do a loan on Perez if Arsenal cannot shift him before the end of the window.

Wilshere has several other options - including Swansea and offers in Italy - but Arsenal do not want to loan him as he only has a year left and want around £20m for a permanent deal.

Perez has asked to go after a lack of first team opportunities but Arsenal have knocked back several loan enquiries already this summer. Brighton are also keen.

Arsenal want to clear out their squad as Arsene Wenger looks to balance the books but they are getting frustrated at a lack of activity.

They have not been able to shift Mathieu Debuchy while Kieran Gibbs, Calum Chambers and Carl Jenkinson can all go.
