Mykhailo Mudryk has admitted that he would prefer a move to Arsenal than Real Madrid if it meant he was a starter at his prospective new club.
The forward was heavily linked with a move to the Emirates Stadium in the summer transfer window, but a deal could not be done between the Gunners and the Ukrainian outfit Shakhtar Donetsk. But Arsenal supporters may not have to wait too long to see the frontman in the red of the Gunners in north London.
Mudryk has seven goals for Donetsk this season, with three of those coming in the Champions League. His proposed transfer to Arsenal has even become a long-running joke in the Shakhtar changing room, goalkeeper Anatoliy Trubin revealed in November.
