Arsenal face Paris-Saint Germain transfer battle for Mykhaylo Mudryk amid Kylian Mbappe exit

Arsenal are set to face serious competition from Paris Saint-Germain for the signing of Shakhtar Donetsk talent Mykhaylo Mudryk.

Mudryk has already publicly stated his desire to play in the Premier League and admitted he "'can't say no" to the Gunners if they were to submit a transfer bid. 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 Arsenal, Brentford and Everton.

Club director and former Croatian footballer Darijo Srna compared Mudryk to Mbappe and Real Madrid star Vinicius Junior earlier this season due to his play style and potential ability. The PSG superstar is said to want to leave the Ligue 1 outfit mid-season, which could see the Gunners face serious competition in the transfer race for Shakhtar's talented winger.
