Manchester City are set to go head-to-head with Arsenal for the signature of one of European football's most exciting talents, according to a club official.
Shakhtar Donetsk attacker Mykhaylo Mudryk has attracted plenty of attention for his performances for club and country this year. The 21-year-old has made 13 goal contributions in 11 appearances so far this season, with some dubbing him 'the Ukrainian Neymar'.
Now, Shakhtar's deputy sporting director, Carlo Nicolini, has confirmed there is concrete interest in Mudryk from both City and current Premier League leaders Arsenal. The youngster has been valued at a higher fee than the £85million Manchester United paid for Antony.
