Arsenal supporters are in absolute dreamland these days – and rightly so.
Mikel Arteta’s side are top of the Premier League standings and not only that, they’re five points clear of Manchester City.
Make no mistake – Arsenal are absolutely a threat to Pep Guardiola’s side this season.
Whether they go all the way may hinge on what they do during the January transfer window, but signing Mykhailo Mudryk could be the missing piece of the jigsaw for Arteta and co.
Bringing Mudryk to the Emirates Stadium may just get Arteta’s side over the line.
The Shakhtar Donetsk winger is a phenomenal talent and, at 21, he’s only going to get a heck of a lot better.
With 10 goals and eight assists from 18 outings across all competitions this season [Transfermarkt], he’s going to be hot property in January.
But on Thursday, it was reported by journalist Dean Jones that Mudryk – who has a £130 million buyout clause in Ukraine, as covered by HITC Sport – is ‘already keen’ on signing for Arsenal, which is half the battle.
Right now, the Gunners are weak in terms of wide options.
Yes, they have Gabriel Martinelli and Bukayo Saka, but beyond those two they’re short on cover and bringing in someone like Mudryk will possibly give them the depth needed to potentially win the Premier League.
It’s been a long time since Arsenal were in this strong a position regarding a league title and by adding Mudryk to the ranks in January, well he could be the missing piece.
