Fabrizio Romano reveals latest update about Arsenal’s interest in Mudryk

Transfer guru Fabrizio Romano has revealed the latest information about the reported move by Arsenal for Shakhtar Donetsk winger Myhaylo Mudryk.

Myhaylo Mudryk is believed to be the major target for the Gunners as manager Mikel Arteta confirms it will be a busy January winter transfer window for the club.

Speaking on his YouTube channel, the transfer guru said that there are ‘conversations ongoing’ between the club and those close to the Ukrainian, but ‘no official bid to Shakhtar’.

Romano believes that Myhaylo Mudryk, who made the step up from Shakhtar’s reserve side to the first team back in January 2021, would be keen to join the Gunners despite the reluctance of his owners.

He stated: “At the moment, there is still no official bid to Shakhtar. There are conversations, Arsenal are in direct contact with people close to the player, but there is still no official bid as Shakhtar insist in public for a €100m fee. In reality, they could accept something less than this, but it is important now for Arsenal to understand the final price tag.

“There are conversations ongoing, but we know the player would be keen on the move. Mudryk would love to join Arsenal, but it is not time yet to say [there is] something advanced between clubs.”
