Arsenal's technical director Edu has made a huge decision in an attempt to finalise a transfer for Mykhaylo Mudryk. The Gunners have made a huge breakthrough this week in their negotiations for the 22-year-old with a deal being secured with Shakhtar Donetsk now closer than ever, as football.london understands.
Two bids have been submitted for Mudryk by Arsenal, with the first being a £55million package deal, however both were swiftly rejected by the Ukrainian club, as football.london understands. The latest offer is a significant step up on the recent proposals though, with it being suggested the fee could be in the region of £75-80million.
If that fee is accepted by Shakhtar, Mudryk would overtake Nicolas Pepe as Arsenal's record signing and it looks likely that a deal could be at an advanced stage following a new report revealing what Edu has done to push for the move to be completed.
