Arsenal have made an official bid of more than £45 million to sign Mykhailo Mudryk from Shakhtar Donetsk.
That’s according to a report by The Times, who are claiming that Mikel Arteta has made it a priority to sign the 21-year-old when the transfer window opens on Sunday. The report goes on to claim that Arsenal’s offer includes bonuses and add-ons based on appearances, but falls short of the £80 million asking price of the Ukrainian side, who have yet to give a formal answer.
The Ukrainian club's sporting director Darijo Srna said in September that Shakhtar rejected a €30million offer from Everton for their star man in the summer transfer window. The Blues had been linked with Mudryk towards the end of August but their exact intentions had not been clear until Srna gave details about the offer they had received.
