Newcastle United have joined Arsenal and Brentford in the race to sign highly-rated Shakhtar Donetsk winger Mykhaylo Mudryk, according to reports.
The 21-year-old has impressed in the Champions League for Shakhtar this season, scoring once and grabbing two assists in a 4-1 win over RB Leipzig, before also finding the net in a 1-1 draw with Celtic on Wednesday. He had also caught the eye of Brentford in the summer, with the Bees coming closest to landing his signature, but the Ukrainian giants stood firm to keep him at the club.
Brentford reportedly lodged an offer of around £26million for the attacker, which was turned down, while Arsenal were keen on signing him without making a formal approach. The Gunners made a number of signings across various positions, but failed to sign a right-winger to help ease Bukayo Saka's workload, despite being linked with now-Barcelona star Raphinha and Mudryk.
