Mykhaylo Mudryk to Arsenal has been a hugely anticipated signing for quite some time now. The 21-year-old is expected to be on the way to the Emirates and is one of Mikel Arteta’s desired targets. Arsenal have even been trying to use Oleksandr Zinchenko as an agent in negotiations but it does not look like Mudryk has had any problems with personal terms.
The talented youngster has been spotted continuously posting stories of himself watching Arsenal matches and even went on to call Mikel Arteta a top manager in one of those stories.
And now, the Shakhtar Donetsk director has been seen in London ahead of the much-anticipated move, but there could be a catch. Mudryk has also been linked with a move to Chelsea, and the meeting could also be with the Blues.
One thing that we can back on is the players’ desire to come to Emirates. He has not hidden that at all and if we can pay the right fee, Mykhaylo Mudryk will be an Arsenal player sooner than later.
This is a deal that Arsenal can take easy as it looks almost certain that Mudryk’s future is with us. However, we must not get over complacent and wrap this up as soon as we can.
