Mykhaylo Mudryk has appeared to show his desperation to join Arsenal by liking a meme which depicts him locked inside the prison of Shakhtar Donetsk.
Arsenal are locked in talks to sign Mudryk, but the picture has been complicated in the past few days by Chelsea ’s interest in the 21-year-old winger. Mirror Football understands that the Blues remain hopeful of hijacking the transfer and have spoken with Shakhtar chief executive Sergei Palkin.
Shakhtar are sticking to their £85million valuation and have already rejected an initial bid of £55m from Arsenal. The Gunners have since returned with an improved second bid of around £60m, but that is also expected to be pushed back.
