Shakhtar star Mykhaylo Mudryk may finally get his Arsenal transfer wish as £52m 'offer' made

 Arsenal transfer news: Mykhaylo Mudryk

continues to be linked with a move to Arsenal

Mykhaylo Mudryk of Shakhtar Donetsk has been heavily linked with a transfer to both Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain.

Arsenal have made an 'offer' for Shakhtar Donetsk star Mykhaylo Mudryk, according to reports from Italy.

It appears that the youngster is very open to a move to Arsenal, who need more depth in their wide areas. Speaking to CBS Sports back in September, he said: "I think every guy dreams about the Premier League. It's hard to say [who his preferred move is], but Arsenal is a very good team, very good coach. I like the way they play."

When asked if he would make a move to the Emirates, he said: "From my side, I can't say no [to Arsenal]. But the transfer is not only my decision."

Reports had suggested earlier this week that Arsenal had held 'positive talks' over a move, but that's seemingly progressed in a short space of time.

Now, as per the Express, Italian football reporter Mirko Di Natale claims the Gunners have made an offer for the player. He insists the north Londoners are serious with their interest and the ball is now in Shakhtar's court to reply. He tweeted: "The #Arsenal is serious for #Mudryk: official offer from €60m (£52.2m). Confirmed the indiscretion of a few days ago. Now the ball passes to #Shakhtar."

If reports are indeed accurate, Shakhtar could be tempted to agree to a deal with the Gunners, meaning the Ukraine international will be one step closer to making his transfer wish come true.

Mudryk has seven goals in 14 appearances for Donetsk, with three of those coming in the Champions League. His arrival would certainly be welcomed in north London, and he would ultimately add great depth to those wide areas.
