Arsenal could face an uphill battle in signing transfer target Mykhaylo Mudryk, after missing out on a move to land the winger in the summer. That's because the i reports that Premier League rivals Newcastle United are readying a £50million bid to Shakhtar Donetsk to beat the Gunners to his signature.
The Magpies are said to be on the lookout for a new winger to bring balance to their forward line, with the asking price not beyond their spending power. Eddie Howe may face more than just Arsenal though, as reports also claim the likes of Liverpool and Everton are monitoring the 21-year-old's situation.
Whoever manages to land Mudryk may have one of the most highly-coveted wonderkids in the game, having risen to notoriety through recent performances. Two goals and two assists in two Champions League appearances this season furthers that claim, with the youngster already discussing a potential move.
