Arsenal could be handed a huge boost in their title hopes if they land a deal for Mykhaylo Mudryk this January transfer window. The 21-year-old has been a target for the Gunners since last summer, where they failed to secure the signature of the Ukraine international before the deadline.
He stayed with Shakhtar Donetsk, where he has impressed ever since, showing his class and ability on the Champions League stage. Convinced he would be the right fit, football.london understands Arsenal made an opening bid worth £55million last week that was eventually turned down.
A second reported bid of £62million has been lodged by the side, who are looking to continue their push at the top of the Premier League table. The west London outfit currently lead the rest of the pack in the division, seven points clear of nearest rivals Manchester City in the race for the title.
