Mykhaylo Mudryk's proposed move to Arsenal may be one of the worst kept secrets in football. The Gunners have been locked in talks with Shakhtar Donetsk over the past few days and a deal is said to be close, football.london understands.
It is understood that the move is edging closer to completion with talks now focusing on the structuring of the deal. Potential add-ons could be decisive, and it has been suggested that the fee for the Ukrainian could be in the region of £75-80million.
Despite talks continuing, Mudryk flew to Turkey with the rest of his Shakhtar teammates earlier this week as the Ukrainian side prepare for the second part of the season in Antalya from January 10 to February 9. Igor Jovicevic’s side will play their first friendly game against Austria Vienna on January 20.
