Mykhailo Mudryk is now not sure about a move to Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal amid interest from Graham Potter’s Chelsea, according to The Sun.
The report in the British tabloid has claimed that Premier League duo Arsenal and Chelsea want to sign Mudryk from Shakhtar Donetsk in the January transfer window.
Shakhtar want as much as £88 million in transfer fees for the 22-year-old Ukraine international winger.
While Mudryk initially preferred a move to Arsenal, the youngster is ‘now torn between that and joining Graham Potter’s slow-burn revolution at Stamford Bridge’.
The report has added that ‘Chelsea are selling themselves on a ticket to long-term success and a return to greatness under new owner Todd Boehly’.
Arsenal or Chelsea for Mykhailo Mudryk?
In our opinion, the club that pays the most money for Mykhailo Mudryk and offers him a highest wage will win the race for the Shakhtar Donetsk winger, be it Arsenal, Chelsea or anyone else.
It is as simple as that.
Yes, Mudryk has been hinting on social media at a potential move to Arsenal in the January transfer window, but if the Gunners do not pay enough for him, then it will send a message to the winger that the North London club do not want him that much.
What if Chelsea match Shakhtar’s asking price and Arsenal do not?
What if the Blues are also willing to pay Mudryk more wages than the Gunners?
Will the winger still hold out for a move to Arsenal?
No.
