Arsenal have submitted a second bid for Shakhtar Donetsk star Mykhaylo Mudryk worth a fee in the region of £62million. The Gunners are prioritising a move for the 21-year-old but now face late competition from London rivals Chelsea.
Gary Neville and Paul Merson both agreed that Mikel Arteta needs another attacker if Arsenal are going to win the Premier League title. The north London outfit extended their advantage at the top of the table to seven points following wins over West Ham and Brighton, with Manchester City dropping points against Everton.
Eddie Nketiah has proved to be a capable replacement for the injured Gabriel Jesus since the Premier League resumed on Boxing Day, scoring in back-to-back games. The Brazilian is set to be sidelined until February, but with games coming thick and fast, Arteta will need to use his entire squad to manage the fixture congestion.
