Mykhaylo
Mudryk,
the
Shakhtar
Donetsk
sensation
has
taken
Europe
into
a
storm
after
some
fantastic
performances
in
the
Ukrainian
league,
and
more
so,
in
the
Champions
League
this
season.
The
prized
asset
of
Shakhtar
has
since
gained
a
lot
of
suitors
across
Europe
and
Arsenal
are
said
to
be
in
the
most
advanced
position.
The
North
London
club
made
an
initial
bid
of
£35
million
up
front
with
22
million
pounds
more
in
add-ons,
which
was
already
rejected
by
them.
And
the
Gunners
made
an
improved
bid
of
around
£62
million
for
Mudryk,
which
is
also
reportedly
going
to
be
rejected
soon.
According
to
reports,
Shakhtar
are
reluctant
to
lower
their
valuation
of
£88
million
for
Mudryk,
which
they
have
publicly
said
in
the
past.
But
amid
the
possibility
of
another
bid
being
rejected,
the
Ukrainian
giants
are
said
to
be
still
open
to
negotiations
with
Arsenal
for
a
possible
transfer.
Mykhaylo
Mudryk
wants
Arsenal
and
there’s
optimism
an
agreement
will
be
reached
for
well
under
Shakhtar’s
€100m
public
valuation.
#AFC‘s
second
bid,
for
just
under
€70m,
still
being
assessed.
There
is
likely
to
be
verbal
back-and-forth
to
finesse
it.
Shakhtar
want
more
upfront.

It
has
to
be
seen
whether
the
Gunners
meet
the
demands
of
Shakhtar
for
Mudryk,
who
has
also
hinted
at
a
move
recently.
The
player
has
given
a
clear
indication
on
social
media
that
he
wants
to
come
to
Arsenal,
after
posting
videos
of
him
watching
Arsenal’s
match
against
West
Ham,
and
then
subsequently
posting
a
picture
of
Mikel
Arteta
and
Brighton
boss
Roberto
De
Zerbi
and
writing
‘two
top
coaches’ at
the
caption.
He
had
prior
experience
playing
under
De
Zerbi
at
Shakhtar
Donetsk.
Amid
this,
Chelsea
have
also
held
talks
with
Shakhtar
chief
executive
Sergei
Palkin
for
the
coveted
winger.
Palkin
is
set
to
be
present
at
Stamford
Bridge
on
Thursday
for
the
Blues’
Premier
League
match
against
Manchester
City.
Mudryk
still
prefers
to
go
to
Arsenal,
but
if
Chelsea
oblige
to
the
demands
of
the
Ukraine
club,
he
may
well
be
switching
to
the
Blue
half
of
London.
The
21-year-old
winger
has
netted
7
times
for
Shakhtar
so
far
this
season,
along
with
7
assists.
