Arsenal are prioritising a move for Mykhaylo Mudryk in the January transfer window as Mikel Arteta looks to add quality and depth to his attack. The Gunners have tabled two offers for the 22-year-old, but neither come close to Shakhtar Donetsk's £88million asking price.
Chelsea remain in the frame to sign Mudryk and are said to be willing to outbid any rival offer as they look to hijack the Gunners' move for the Ukraine international. Mudryk has dropped a number of hints on social media and in interviews regarding his desire to seal a transfer to the Emirates Stadium in January.
Arsenal are set to be without £45million summer signing Gabriel Jesus until February with Arteta hinting that he would like a new striker before the transfer window closes. The Gunners had been linked with a move for Atletico Madrid star Joao Felix, but the 23-year-old is now close to finalising a loan move to Chelsea as Todd Boehly looks to revitalise Graham Potter's attack.
