Arsenal have been handed a huge boost in their approach for Shakhtar Donetsk winger Mykhaylo Mudryk as the Ukrainian outfit appear to have found a replacement. Should they manage to land another wide player, it could allow the Gunners to make advances in a move in January for the 19-year-old.
It comes after months of speculation surrounding a switch to the Emirates Stadium, which has included its fair share of hints surrounding it. Mudryk has been heavily involved in that too, making it quite clear where his loyalties lie should he be free to leave his club.
Just last month, he said: "I follow Arsenal closely, they’re a very dynamic side. One surprise for me was how many Arsenal fans followed me. No other club’s fans have interacted as much as them, they always tell me – come to us!"
