Arsenal fans have theorised that transfer target Mykhaylo Mudryk is already in London ahead of an anticipated move to the club this January. football.london understands the Gunners lodged an opening offer of £55million to land the winger last week, but it was rejected by Shakhtar Donetsk.
Since then, talks have continued to try and find a breakthrough, with recent reports claiming a second bid worth £62million has been made. It comes after the CEO of the Ukraine outfit confirmed that further talks would be held to try and reach an agreement over a deal.
Sergei Palkin told club media last week: "Now, literally in five minutes, I will have a phone conversation with Arsenal. We are open to negotiations, ready to exchange ideas and figures. If we will agree, then let it be so.”
