Arsenal have tabled a third bid for Shakhtar Donetsk winger Mykhaylo Mudryk, reports transfer expert Fabrizio Romano. The Gunners have already submitted two offers to the Ukrainian outfit over the past few weeks, but have had both rejected on their way towards an agreement.
Rivals Chelsea have been linked with hijacking the move, having held talks over a switch, but Romano adds that there's no official bid from the Blues yet and Arsenal remain in the lead. It comes after months of rumours and links between the north London outfit and the 22-year-old.
Mudryk was a target in the summer transfer window for Edu Gaspar, but the side were unable to get a deal across the line in time. Since then, the winger has impressed with his performances in the league and Champions League, such as his goal in a cameo against Real Madrid.
