Arsenal have been damaged by the loss of Mykhailo Mudryk in the January transfer window. The Gunners’ top target was swiftly snapped up by Chelsea have a lengthy negotiation with Shakhtar Donetsk not only ended the club’s hopes of acquiring their preferable winger, but it has damaged the market in the time that remains.
Reportedly Arsenal target Moussa Diaby is being quoted at the €100million (£88.4million) mark because clubs feel if Shakhtar were able to get this amount for Mudryk why shouldn’t they get top price for their own star. Therefore, sporting director Edu is having internal discussions with Mikel Arteta and his recruitment team to work out where to turn next.
The Gunners have reacted well to missing out on previous primary targets. The hope will be they can repeat these achievements once again before the window closes.
