Shakhtar Donetsk director Darijo Srna has, with in tongue and cheek, claimed that he will one day try to re-sign Mykhailo Mudryk. The 22-year-old winger was heavily linked with a move to Arsenal at the start of last month, only for the Blues to swoop in and hijack the deal at the eleventh hour.
Talks between the north Londoners and Shakhtar were thought to have initially progressed well with Edu tabling a bid of €70million (£62million), including €30million (£26million) worth of add-ons. Arsenal stay in contact with the Ukrainian side and there was once confidence that they were going to win the race for Mudryk's signature.
But, then, Chelsea matched the Gunners' bid, which was revealed to be a better structured offer — just hours later Mudryk was unveiled to supporters at Stamford Bridge. The youngster has shown great promise since arriving in the Premier League but he's struggled to integrate himself into a disjointed environment, with Graham Potter under pressure.
