As Arsenal transfer news goes, this latest revelation will spark excitement amongst the fanbase as Mykhaylo Mudryk has liked a meme on Instagram signalling his desire to move to Mikel Arteta’s side in January.

Transfer insider Fabrizio Romano said on the House of Champions podcast that Mudryk has given his word to Mikel Arteta’s side that he is eyeing a switch to the Emirates Stadium.

A whopping £88 million fee has been set by Shakhtar Donetsk to let the rapid winger join Arsenal in January, as reported by GOAL on Wednesday.

The Gunners, who are sitting pretty at the top of the Premier League are in need of reinforcements to potentially win the title.

While Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli have been brilliant out wide this season, a ‘special’ talent, as described by Fabrizio Romano (via GiveMeSport) such as Mykhaylo Mudryk would be an extremely useful addition in January.

Considering Mudryk is an expert left-winger, he could provide competition or even potentially usurp Martinelli.

And now, the 21-year-old has hinted at joining Arteta and Co.

Liked by almost 3,000 users, fans were surprised to see Mukdryk like the meme, which clearly hinted at his desire to join Arsenal.

Age-old tactic used by Mudryk

In the social media age, players, much like Mykhaylo Mudryk often intentionally like posts and memes to drop transfer hints such as his dream to sign for Arsenal in January.

It seems crystal clear that if a fee is agreed, Mudryk will happily play his football at the Emirates Stadium.
