Arsenal are closing in on the signing of Mykhaylo Mudryk from Shakhtar Donetsk. This comes just days after Joao Felix had joined Chelsea despite interest from the Gunners.
Felix made the switch to Chelsea after the Blues agreed to meet the high financial demands of Atletico Madrid that saw a dry loan sorted and the Portuguese international extend his deal with the Spanish side before the switch. Arsenal meanwhile opted not to fight with their west London rivals, clearly believing it was not a cost-effective move for them to invest in.
Felix was thrown straight into the team by Graham Potter in their derby game against Fulham on Thursday evening and, despite looking impressive, found his game cut short after receiving a red card. The forward slid in with his studs high on Kenny Tete.
