Why Arsenal must beat Chelsea to Mykhaylo Mudryk transfer in January window

The January transfer window has so far been dominated by stories regarding Arsenal and Chelsea target Mykhaylo Mudryk.

football.london understands that the Gunners they saw an offer in the region of £55million including add-ons rejected by Mudryk's parent club Shakhtar, whilst recent reports have also claimed that the north Londoners then followed this up with an improved offer for Mudryk. The second bid is still said to still be short of the Ukrainian club's asking price for the 22-year-old, who has also been heavily linked with a move to Chelsea in recent days.

A recent report from the Telegraph claimed that the Ukranian international is a target for the Blues, who also tried to hijack the Gunners' move for Gabriel Jesus last summer - an approach that ultimately proved unsuccessful, with the Brazilian joining Mikel Arteta and Co at the Emirates Stadium. Despite interest from the west Londoners, Arsenal appear unlikely to be sucked into a bidding war for the 22-year-old.
