Arsenal have been given a number of significant updates on how the Mykhaylo Mudryk transfer is progressing after weeks of negotiations with no real breakthrough between the two clubs. Shakhtar are known as tough negotiators and their firm stance on Mudryk is certainly proving that.
Shakhtar chief Carlo Nicollini has been keen to mention their set price for the 22-year-old which still stands at €100million (£88.5million), with big-money transfers to Premier League teams for Antony and Jack Grealish often used as the reference point.
"Our director said that we need a bid closer to the Jack Grealish fee (£100million) than Antony (£86million) to sell Mudryk," he said in December. "We're not even considering a bid with €40million (£35million) as fixed fee."
