Arsenal have been handed a potential warning over their pursuit for Shakhtar Donetsk winger Mykhaylo Mudryk in January. It comes as the Gunners continue to be linked with a switch for the Ukraine international as an option for the winter window, having missed out on him in the summer.
The 21-year-old fits the profile of the club's current strategy, signing young talent and in a position that needs bolstering in the coming weeks. It seems as though Mudryk is keen on a move too, continually dropping hints over a potential place in the team at the Emirates Stadium.
Discussing a move with CBS Sports, he said: "I think every guy dreams about the Premier League. It's hard to say [who his preferred move is] but Arsenal is a very good team, very good coach, I like the way they play," Before adding: "From my side, I can't say no [to Arsenal]. But the transfer is not only my decision."
