Arsenal Want to Sign Ukrainian Sensation Before Transfer Window Closes

Arsenal have had the best start to the Premier League season. They have won all their games while conceding two goals and scoring nine. Their smart business in the transfer window has been a big reason for their success in the early stages of the campaign.

Gabriel Jesus has scored 2 goals and provided 3 assists in his first three games for the Gunners, while Zinchenko has helped Arsenal keep 2 clean sheets.

William Saliba has been part of the Arsenal setup for some time and he has finally got game time this season, putting in some excellent performances in the first three games.

The North London side now wants to add Ukrainian winger, Mykhaylo Mudryk, also known as the “Ukrainian Neymar”, to their team.

According to a report from the Mirror on Arsenal’s interest;

"Arsenal are reportedly aiming to continue their impressive summer business with a swoop for Shakhtar Donetsk forward Mykhaylo Mudryk.Reports claim that the Gunners are eyeing a swoop for the 21-year-old, who would become the club’s sixth acquisition of the current transfer window in what has been an extremely busy window for Mikel Arteta and Edu.via mirror.co.uk"

The 21-year-old, known for his blistering pace and skillfulness on the ball, joined Shaktar Donestk in 2016. After a couple of loan spells, he finally got his big break at Shaktar.

In 26 first-team appearances, Mudryk has scored twice and assisted nine times. Due to his technical ability on and off the ball, Mudryk has been called the “Ukrainian Messi” also.

He has also featured five times for the Ukrainian national team.

The current league leaders already have a number of players who can play on the wing, including Reiss Nelson, Fabio Vieira, Emile Smith Rowe, Gabriel Martinelli, Nicolas Pepe, and Bukayo Saka.

However, Pepe has been linked with a move away from the club and Mudryk could be a great replacement for the Ivorian, who never really worked out at the Emirates after his club-record-breaking transfer.

According to trusted football journalist Fabrizio Romano, Sevilla and OGC Nice are linked with a move for Nicolas Pepe.

In a tweet, Fabrizio revealed;

Arsenal have also been linked with a move for Wolverhampton Wanderer’s Neto. Who would be a better fit for Mikel Arteta’s gunners?
