Thierry Henry has revealed whether Arsenal should have gone the extra mile to snatch Mykhailo Mudryk from Chelsea. The 22-year-old was heavily linked with a move to the Gunners at the start of last month, only for the Blues to hijack a deal at the eleventh hour.
Talks between the north Londoners and Shakhtar Donetsk progressed well to begin with before Edu eventually tabled a bid of €70million (£62million), plus €30million (£26million) worth of add-ons. Arsenal stayed in contact with the Ukrainian side and there was even 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 put pen to paper on an eight-and-a-half year deal at Stamford Bridge.
