Arsenal have made their first attempt to sign Shakhtar Donetsk winger Mykhaylo Mudryk less than a week before the January transfer window opens. The Gunners have monitored the 21-year-old for some time and are now seeking his services for the second half of the season.
football.london reported yesterday that an official bid had been made to Shakhtar prior to Arsenal's 3-1 Premier League win over West Ham. It is thought that the offer is in the region of £55million including add-ons.
Mudryk has made his stance on a move to Emirates Stadium very clear since the speculation began. In November, the forward told Oleksandr Zinchenko's wife, Vlada Zinchenko, he keeps track of Mikel Arteta side's results before claiming he would not be able to say no to a move to the Emirates Stadium.
