Arsenal have agreed a fee with Shakhtar Donetsk to sign in-demand winger Mykhaylo Mudryk, according to TV journalist Rudy Galetti. The Gunners are said to be in the "final stages" of negotiations with the Ukrainian club after months of links over a switch for the 22-year-old.
Notoriously tough negotiators, Shakhtar put a valuation of £88.7million (€100million) on his signature ahead of the January transfer window - they are said to have quoted the transfer fees paid for the likes of Manchester United's Antony and Manchester City's Jack Grealish as barometers for Mudryk's value. football.london understands that Arsenal made two bids in late December into early January, with the first one being in the region of £55million, before they were rejected.
The forward has since hinted plenty at a move to the Emirates Stadium in the coming weeks, dropping everything from posts on social media to media interviews. "I do dream (of the Premier League)," Mudryk told CBS on a potential transfer in the current window.
