Arsenal transfer news – Mudryk made the wrong choice, claims former coach
Mykhaylo Mudryk stunningly signed for Chelsea, not Arsenal. This was after the Ukraine international consistently stated he wanted to join Arsenal and even asked if he could before putting pen to paper with Chelsea.
According to UA Tribuna, former Shakhtar U-19 coach Andreas Carrasco has said that Arsenal would be the better option for Mudryk, given how they play.
"““Today, Arsenal, with its style of play, could be more suitable for Mudryk, who successfully uses dribbling and plays one-on-one. It would be better for him, in my opinion.” – Andreas Carrasco (quoted by Just Arsenal)"
