We 'signed' Mykhaylo Mudryk for Arsenal in January and he answered Mikel Arteta's big issue

After failing in a late move for Shakhtar Donetsk Mykhaylo Mudryk in the summer transfer window, Arsenal could reignite their interest in the Ukrainian forward in January.

Since Emile Smith Rowe's injury which has kept him out of action for most of this season, Arsenal have been short of options on either wing, with Gabriel Martinelli and Bukayo Saka both being overworked with no backup options. A deal for Mudryk to move to the Gunners fell through in the summer, but the winger dubbed the 'Ukrainian Neymar' could leave Shakhtar Donetsk as early as January.

With the likes of Real Madrid, Roma and a few fellow Premier League clubs also showing interest in the 21-year-old, Arsenal side could face some competition for his signature. But, with the Arsenal board prepared to back Mikel Arteta in the upcoming transfer window, a move for the Ukrainian could be on the cards.
