Arsenal are said to be leading the race to land Shakhtar Donetsk starlet Mykhaylo Mudryk, reports journalist Pete O'Rourke.“It’s a huge advantage if you’ve got a player who is openly looking to move to the club," O’Rourke told<a href="https://www.givemesport.com/88094727-arsenal-transfer-news-huge-advantage-race-star-wants-emirates-move">GiveMeSport</a>. "It really increases your chances of striking a deal and securing his signature. Mudryk has been a long-term target for Arsenal for a while now. Obviously, the main issue for Arsenal is probably his price tag, with Shakhtar Donetsk trying to price him out of a move, and there is a lot of rival interest from other clubs as well.”
