Shakhtar Donetsk CEO Serhiy Palkin has revealed that they are still in firm talks with Arsenal over the transfer of Mykhaylo Mudryk.
The winger has been heavily linked with a move to the Emirates Stadium after impressing for Shakhtar so far this season, scoring 10 goals in 18 appearances. Mudryk has also grabbed eight assists and is one of the world's brightest young talents with Arsenal and Real Madrid amongst his potential suitors.
However, the Gunners have stepped up their efforts to sign the 21-year-old following the injury to Gabriel Jesus which is set to keep him out for a couple of months. The Brazilian has been a shining light in the Gunners' attack this season but suffered a knee injury at the World Cup with Brazil and Arteta has acted fact.
