This week has seen fresh developments regarding Mykhaylo Mudryk's potential move to Arsenal during the January transfer window.
As reported by football.london on Boxing Day, prior to the Gunners' 3-1 win over West Ham United, an official bid believed to be in the region of £55m including add-ons had been submitted to Shakhtar Donetsk as Mikel Arteta aims to bolster his attacking options for the second half of the season.
Although, as the aforementioned bid falls short of the Ukrainian side's £85m asking price, the offer, as expected, is understood to have been rejected. With that said, Arsenal are hopeful of still getting the deal done but it remains to be seen if Shakhtar are willing to soften their stance, especially with Mudryk keen on a move.
