Arsenal technical director Edu has been warned that the Gunners face tough competition from Newcastle United for the signing of Shakhtar Donetsk star Mykhaylo Mudryk. The 21-year-old was heavily linked with a move to north London in the summer as Mikel Arteta looked to further bolster his frontline.
The Gunners are said to have made contact with the top-flight Ukrainian club over the possibility of signing the winger. Arsenal are believed to be long-term admirers of Mudryk and contemplated tabling an offer in a bid to fend off interest from Everton, who reportedly had a €30million (£25.9million) verbal proposal snubbed.
A move away from Shakhtar failed to materialise, but now more clubs are said to be joining the transfer race. And, according to former Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper Paul Robinson, it will be 'a matter of time' before Mudryk lands a big move.
