Arsenal remain locked in talks with Shakhtar Donetsk regarding their star winger Mykhaylo Mudryk. The Gunners have so far submitted two offers for the 22-year-old but as of yet have not agreed a deal with the Ukrainian side.
Chelsea have also registered an interest in the winger creating further complications for Arsenal. The biggest obstacle to the move is the difference between the Gunners’ and Shakhtar’s valuation of the player.
football.london understands Arsenal want to avoid Mudryk becoming their record signing, eclipsing the £72million they paid for Nicolas Pepe, however the Ukrainian heavyweights currently value Mudryk at €100million (£88.2million). The reported second bid from Arsenal reportedly totalled £62million and the club has been told to raise their offer.
