Arsenal were unable to sign a winger in the summer transfer window, despite the clear need to strengthen in the wide areas. Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli have a lot of pressure to perform until the next opportunity to address this area of the pitch opens.
One player who the club were reportedly looking to sign in the summer transfer window was Mykhaylo Mudryk. But, due to how late in the window the Gunners seemed to register interest in him, a deal seemed too difficult to complete.
The Ukrainian winger sent Edu a reminder of why Arsenal should once again look to pursue a deal in January as he played a pivotal role in Shakhtar Donestk’s opening 4-1 victory in the Champions League against RB Leipzig on Tuesday night.
