Arsenal are leading the race for Shakhtar Donetsk winger Mykhaylo Mudryk, who will be available for €35 million.
According to Calciomercato, Arsenal are the favourites to land the talented Mykhaylo Mudryk. The Gunners will have to shell in the region of €35 million to get the player to the Emirates.
Arsenal have been under severe pressure to perform on the bigger stages for the last few years. And they have managed to break the shackles this season, Mikel Arteta has revamped his side in style, and the results are pretty evident, as the Gunners are currently leading the Premier League table.
Mykhaylo Mudryk saw a number of offers coming for him in the summer. But Shakhtar Donetsk managed to keep a hold of him. AS Roma pushed a move for the player but their bid of €30 million was outrightly rejected.
Shakhtar’s Director of Football Darijo Srna has warned suitors that they will have to shell out an enormous sum for the player, who has excelled in every role this season. The 21-year-old has been impressive in the UEFA Champions League, and another Italian club Juventus are also believed to be after him.
Arsenal brought in Gabriel Jesus this summer. And adding Mudryk to the squad will only inject more youthfulness into their squad. The likes of Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli have already displayed their prospects, and together, they could be one of European’s hottest attacking contingents.
Failure to grab a spot in the Champions League could be a massive blow to their aspirations. But their recent form suggests Arsenal might be ready to bridge the gap if a situation arises.
Mudryk’s stock has only gone upwards, and Shakhtar Donetsk will demand around €35 million, as per Calciomercato. Predominantly a left-winger, the Ukrainian winger came through the club’s academy, and they are about to get richer if they decided to cash in on the winger.
Despite his handful number of games in senior football clubs are ready to bet big on him. Arteta is willing to take risks, and he could be rewarded if the player gets it going in the English top flight. For now, Arsenal lead the race to sign Mudryk.
