Kevin Campbell has said on Highbury Squad that Shakhtar Donetsk winger Mykhaylo Mudryk would be a good signing for Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal.
The former Arsenal star has said that Mudryk is the right profile for the Gunners.
The Sky Sports pundit believes that the 21-year-old winger wants to join Arsenal and is probably speaking to his Ukraine international teammate Oleksandr Zinchenko about a potential move to the Emirates Stadium.
Mudryk and Zinchenko play for the Ukraine national football team.
Zinchenko, who can operate as a left-back or as a midfielder, joined Arsenal from defending Premier League champions Manchester City in the summer transfer window.
Well-known and well-respected journalist Fabrizio Romano said on Que Golazo this week that Arsenal wanted to sign the winger in the summer transfer window and remain keen on him.
Earlier this month, the 21-year-old himself publicly said that he is open to a move to Arsenal.
Mudryk has made three appearances in the Ukrainian domestic league so far this season, and has scored one goal and given two assists in one UEFA Champion League match.
Mykhaylo Mudryk tipped to join Arsenal
Campbell said about Mudryk: “I like him. I have seen a few games of his. Whenever I have seen him, he has looked lively, he has looked good. Young lad, very gifted.
“I truly believe that he is the right profile for Arsenal. He seems to have a great attitude, and again, I think he likes the Arsenal. His captain is at Arsenal, so he is probably ringing Zini and saying, ‘Speak to the manager. Get me over there’.”
