American businessmen Stan Kroenke and Todd Boehly are set to go head-to-head for Shakhtar Donetsk star Mykhaylo Mudryk as their respective clubs intensify efforts to sign the talented winger.
It’s believed Arsenal have been in the driving seat to secure Mudryk’s signature for some time after the player publicly expressed his desire to join the north London side having originally been linked with a move last summer.
football.london understands the Gunners finally made their move for the Ukrainian by submitting an opening bid worth £55million including add ons last week, which was subsequently rebuffed by Shakhtar, who are said to be holding out for a fee in the region of £85million.
