Arsenal fans are desperate for Mudryk news as speculation about a move for the Shakhtar Donetsk No.10 intensifies.
In recent days, it has been said by The Times that the Gunners are closing in on a move for the Ukraine international in a deal potentially worth as much as £80m.
Tutto Mercato Web believe Edu – Director of Football at the Emirates Stadium – has even flown out to Warsaw as he attempts to wrap up the deal.
Now, Mudryk himself has said something very interesting.
WHAT’S THE STORY?
Well, the 22-year-old was voted Shakhtar Donetsk Player of the Year for 2022, after receiving 76% of the votes from a total of 17,319 fans.
When asked if he had a message for these supporters, Mudryk admitted that he wants “new challenges” and “new goals” – it comes after he supposedly gave Mikel Arteta his word that he will join Arsenal, as detailed by Fabrizio Romano.
The Ukrainian wonderkid said: “You can always be better. Therefore, you should not stop, but go towards new goals, look for new challenges.”
