Arsenal transfer news: Gunners set out ‘maximum Mudryk bid’ as opening offer disappoints | Football | Sport

Mudryk has been with Shakhtar since a youth prospect and his respect for the club will supposedly rule him out of taking drastic action to try and force through a move to the Emirates. Club chief Darijo Srna has already warned interested parties that they will have to pay ‘a lot, a lot, a lot’ to prise him away from his homeland, placing him among the very best wingers on the planet with Kylian Mbappe, Neymar and Vinicius Jr. 

The player’s feelings on a move to the Premier League are clear and he dropped another strong hint on Monday night by posting a picture of himself watching Arsenal beat West Ham on social media. The Gunners could do with Mudryk’s extra attacking threat due to Gabriel Jesus’ injury but back-up option Eddie Nketiah acquitted himself well against the Hammers by scoring in a 3-1 win.
