Mykhaylo Mudryk hinted he will move to the Emirates in January, as news was confirmed that the Gunners have made an offer for the player.
Mikel Arteta’s side have been linked with the Shakhtar Donetsk winger since the summer, and several reports are now claiming that the Gunners have made an offer for the player.
Of course, the winger has plenty of admirers, with Real Madrid and Paris Saint-German also thought to be interested.

However, Mudryk is thought to prefer a move to north London and has publicly revealed his admiration for the Gunners in a recent interview.
The 21-year-old said, as per the Evening Standard: “I think every guy dreams about the Premier League. Arsenal is a very good team with a very good coach. I like the way they play. It would be hard to say no [to Arsenal].”
As we approach the January transfer window, Arsenal will step up their efforts to sign the 21-year-old wide man.
