First reported by Fabrizio Romano, Arsenal have offered Shakhtar Donetsk €70million (£62m) as well as sizeable add ons worth up to €25million (£22m) for the 22-year-old.

If accepted, Mudryk will become Arsenal’s most expensive player overtaking Nicholas Pepe who cost Mikel Arteta’s side £72million in 2019.
However Arsenal fans will be hoping to see a more successful tenure at the club for Mudryk, with Pepe being loaned out to Nice just three years after his record-breaking signing.
The Ukrainian has been making waves in his home league, amassing 13 goal contributions in 12 games as well as five goal contributions in Shakhtar’s Champions League campaign.
It’s because of these numbers that Mudryk has attracted the attention of multiple Premier League clubs, with Chelsea looking to steal the deal from their London rivals.
