Arsenal and Manchester City battling head-to-head for £100m-rated talent, club official confirms

Arsenal and Manchester City look set to go toe-to-toe in a £100million transfer battle for Shakhtar Donetsk star Mykhaylo Mudryk.

Mudryk has already publicly stated his desire to play in the Premier League and admitted he wouldn't be able to "say no" to the Gunners if they were to submit a transfer bid. The Ukrainian winger has registered 13 goal contribution in 11 appearances so far this season, scoring a brilliant solo-strike in Shakhtar's UEFA Champions League win against Celtic earlier this week.

Dubbed the 'next Kylian Mbappe', the 21-year-old was denied a move as Shakhtar slapped a £50million price tag on him in an effort to deter interest from abroad. Shakhtar Donetsk's deputy sporting director, Carlo Nicolini, has now confirmed there is concrete interest from both City and Arsenal in Mudryk who has now been valued at a higher fee than what Manchester United paid for Antony.
