Shakhtar Donetsk winger Mykhaylo Mudryk is 'pushing' to leave the Ukrainian outfit ahead of the January transfer window. The 21-year-old is attracting interest from the Premier League with Arsenal being heavily linked with making a bid for him.
Mudryk is one of the hottest talents in Europe at the moment having impressed for Shakhtar Donetsk this season, registering 16 goal contributions in 16 appearances in all competitions. The Gunners are in need of depth in wide areas as Mikel Arteta's side prepare to fight for the Premier League title, and given Gabriel Jesus' knee injury a move for Mudryk may now be a priority.
The Ukrainian winger's proposed transfer to Arsenal has become a long-running joke in the Shakhtar Donetsk changing room, goalkeeper Anatoliy Trubin revealed following the summer transfer window. Chelsea are said to be looking to land a significant blow to their London rivals by hijacking a move for their number one target.
