Arsenal bid £62m for winger during January transfer window and it wasn't Mykhailo Mudryk

Arsenal had a busy January transfer window, to say the least.

The north Londoners brought in attacker Leandro Trossard, central midfielder Jorginho and centre-back Jakub Kiwior to strengthen their Premier League title charge. However, they didn't land their primary target in the form of Ukrainian winger Mykhailo Mudryk, who joined London rivals Chelsea instead.

After Mudryk arrived at Stamford Bridge, the Gunners quickly moved for the aforementioned Trossard, although according to Spanish outlet Sport, via Sport Witness, they tried to get Barcelona wide man Raphinha first. It is claimed that Mikel Arteta's side offered €70million (£62million) to prise the Brazilian international away from the Camp Nou, a bid that was eventually turned down by the Blaugrana.
