Arsenal's pursuit of Mykhailo Mudryk dominated headlines during the first two weeks of the January transfer window before the Ukrainian winger joined rivals Chelsea instead.
As recently as Friday, the Gunners were confident that a deal would get done but the Blues came in on Saturday evening with a better offer before unveiling their new signing at Stamford Bridge on Sunday afternoon. Arsenal's last bid for Mudryk was said to be in the region of €70 million (£62 million), plus an additional €25 million (£22 million) worth of add-ons.
Technical director Edu will now hope to find a suitable alternative during the remaining two weeks of the winter window and according to Italian outlet CMW, that is Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic. Their report claims that the north London outfit are planning to offer the Italian giants €80 million (£71 million) for Vlahovic, who has netted seven goals in 15 outings so far this season.
