Arsenal are holding firm over their valuation of Shakhtar Donetsk attacker Mykhaylo Mudryk. His club wish to use the prices attached to Jack Grealish and Antony to ramp up their income when he is sold but Edu isn't willing to play by these rules.
The Gunners have pursued the 22-year-old since the summer but have been met by a bullish response and a swift rejection of their offers. The first, worth a total of £55million, came well short of director Darijo Srna's value. The second bid is believed to be around £62million, still falling short of the £88million they want.
As much as Mudryk is doing his bit to demonstrate his desire to move to London via social media posts, it isn't making things any easier for Arsenal. They are also facing competition now with Chelsea breathing down their necks.
