Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta just might get his wish after all, if reports claiming there has been a major breakthrough with regard to a 'full agreement' to sign Shakthar Donetsk winger Mykhaylo Mudryk are true.
It's no secret that the Ukraine international has been the Gunners' priority for the January transfer window, although negotiations between the two clubs haven't been smooth sailing, to say the least as football.london understands that an initial £55million bid was rejected and it's thought that an improved offer of £62million wasn't enough either.
However, according to Italian outlet FootMercato, Arsenal have taken a huge step towards reaching an agreement with Shakhtar for Mudryk as the report claims the Kroenke family have given sporting director Edu Gaspar the green light to meet the winger's asking price.
