Arsenal have been told they face another potential transfer hijacking this summer similar to that of Mykhailo Mudryk in January. The Gunners monitored a switch for the Ukraine international and eventually placed offers to Shakhtar Donetsk to attempt to get a move over the line.
The north London outfit had a figure in mind when it came to reaching a maximum offer, but they were eventually blown out of the water by rivals Chelsea. In a shocking twist of events, the Blues tabled an £88million bid that was accepted and saw the young winger move to Stamford Bridge.
"I am very proud to have the players we have. We always want to try to improve the squad," Mikel Arteta said after missing out on the transfer target in January. "The club are the first to try and improve the players we have. We have to have some discipline and be consistent in the targets we have. We can make the players better - let's focus on that."
