MYKHAILO MUDRYK gave Arsenal fans another reason to cheer on Boxing Day – as he revealed he was watching the Gunners in action.
Mikel Arteta’s side came from 1-0 down to complete a 3-1 comeback win over West Ham at the Emirates.
During the game, news broke that the North Londoners had launched an initial £52.5million bid for Mudryk.
The Gunners offered £35m up front with a further £17.5m in add-ons.
However, it’s understood Shakhtar Donetsk want at least £60m for their exciting winger.
But it seems Mudryk already has his eyes on Arsenal as he watched his potential new team-mates in action, much to the excitment of Arsenal fans.

And a final user commented: “Mykhailo Mudryk on Instagram watching Arsenal win against West Ham.
“Never seen a player this eager to join another club considering the transfer window isn’t even open yet.”
Boss Arteta – who singled out Nketiah for praise – was asked directly about Mudryk watching the game and what that could mean regarding a transfer.
The Spaniard replied: “The good thing in England is that we’re the only ones playing through Christmas, so hopefully a lot of people are watching our game and we’ve given them a good show.”
