Arsenal have been told that Shakhtar Donetsk are willing to sell Mykhaylo Mudryk if a bid arrives that matches the Ukrainian clubs value of their star asset. The Gunners saw a £55million bid including add-ons for Mudryk rejected, football.london understands, however, they are expected to return with a higher offer for the 21-year-old.
On the eve of the January transfer window opening, the Mudryk transfer saga could reach a conclusion over the next few weeks with Arsenal sending their opening bid to Shakhtar earlier this week.
With Shakhtar representatives sending constant reminders to any interested Mudryk suitors, it was highly unlikely Arsenal's opening bid was going to be accepted but it's also equally likely that the Gunners were aware of that and it was just a formal offer to begin negotiations.
