Shakhtar Donetsk Sporting Director Darijo Srna has been pictured in a restaurant with Eduardo da Silva and Willian amid the race to sign Mykhaylo Mudryk. The 22-year-old has been heavily linked with an exit from the Ukrainian side, with both Arsenal and Chelsea eager to acquire his signature.
The Gunners made their first attempt to sign Mudryk less than a week before the January transfer window opened, football.london understands. Arsenal have monitored the winger for some time now as Mikel Arteta looks to bolster the north London side's frontline.
It's said that the Gunners submitted an official bid in the region of £55million including add-ons. But, Arsenal's offer falls short of the £80million asking price set by the Ukrainian side.
