Mikel Arteta maintains that Arsenal are "trying" to get deals over the line after admitting they are a "bit short".
The Gunners retain a strong interest in Mykhailo Mudryk with his club Shakhtar Donetsk open to selling if their valuation is met. So far the north Londoners have seen several bids knocked back by the Ukrainian outfit but have lodged a fresh offer.
A £70million bid, which includes an initial fee plus add-ons, has been put to Shakhtar as Arsenal attempt to get the deal over the line. The player himself is keen to make the switch to the Emirates - posting a cryptic story on his Instagram - as the Gunners look to build on their impressive start to the campaign.
