Despite Hull residing in the Championship at the time, they stood firm to force a replay that they would go on to lose at the KCOM stadium.
Tymon is currently one of the lowest earners in the top flight due to the fact he was signed on a scholarship deal.
Hull boss Mike Phelan is eager to keep his defensive prodigy but knows the club's financial predicament could force their hand.
Tymon has made three appearances for the Tigers so far this season.
Arsenal view the youngster as a long-term replacement for Nacho Monreal.
Monreal turns 31 in February and his deputy, Kieran Gibbs, has struggled for consistency since his debut in 2007.
