Jamie Carragher has suggested that Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola could have inadvertently triggered Arsenal’s interest in Mykhaylo Mudryk.
The Gunners have long been linked with a move for the Ukrainian wideman, with Mikel Arteta keen to bolster his attacking options at Emirates Stadium. Talks are underway between Arsenal and Shakhtar Donetsk and Mudryk has reportedly agreed terms for January switch, but the two sides are yet to agree a fee.
Ahead of a potential move, with the transfer window open, Carragher has suggested that Arteta’s spell with City triggered the Gunners’ interest in the winger, with Arsenal aiming to emulate the reigning Premier League champions’ deep and talented squad.
