Arsenal are said to have 'opened talks' with Shakhtar Donetsk and Mykhaylo Mudryk's representatives over a possible January transfer.
The Gunners are expected to be busy in the transfer window next month, with Gabriel Jesus potentially sidelined for three months following successful knee surgery. The Brazilian played a starring role in the north Londoners' first half of the season after his £45million summer move from Manchester City, with 12 goal involvements in 20 appearances in all competitions.
After being handed a fresh injury blow with Reiss Nelson last week, Mikel Arteta has hinted at potential business in the winter transfer market, revealing the club were actively looking to improve. "We are going to be active and active means we are looking to strengthen the team," he said.
