Mykhaylo Mudryk has been told how he can learn from Kylian Mbappe ahead of a potential transfer switch to Arsenal or Chelsea this January. The 22-year-old has been one of the stories of the window so far, with the Gunners first tracking a move after missing out in the summer.
Mudryk has continually dropped hints over switching to north London in the coming weeks, from posting social media content over a deal to holding interviews on it. Speaking to CBS about moving to England, he said: "I do dream (of the Premier League).
"I think every guy dreams about the Premier League. Arsenal is a very good team with a very good coach. I like the way they play. Yes it would be hard to say no from my side, I can't say no but the transfer is not only my decision and my word."

Since that interest, rivals Chelsea have looked to hijack the deal, with talks holding place with Shakhtar officials over an agreement, with Darijo Srna spotted at Stamford Bridge for their recent clash with Manchester City. It remains to be seen which side will win the transfer battle, if either do manage to land him, but the question remains if he's ready to make that leap.
Amid those uncertainties, famous Ukrainian coach Vyacheslav Grozny believes he should take some advice from Kylian Mbappe. He told UA Football: "If Mudryk doesn't find a highlight, opponents will quickly get used to his style of play, as it was with Mbappe at the beginning of his career in Monaco. Everyone knows Mudryk's speed, so they will put a fast player and one insurance player against him."
It could require some time for him to reach his full potential as a result, but if he can become well-rounded, the comparisons to Mbappe could be greater in the near future.
