Everton's chances of landing Mykhaylo Mudryk could face another blow, with Newcastle United the latest to emerge in the race for the 'Ukrainian Neymar', according to the i.
The Blues looked to be ahead of the chasing pack over the summer, having a €30million bid rejected by Shakhtar Donetsk, as confirmed by the club's sporting director Darijo Srna - who also claimed the 21-year-old was the third best right-winger in the world behind Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Jr.
Mudryk has somewhat justified those claims with a brilliant start to the new season, particularly in the Champions League where he has two goals and two assists in two games. But, unfortunately for Everton, such performances on the European stage were always going to attract interest from other clubs.
