“I like that he is focused only on himself, his and the team’s game,”.
“Fans don’t really see that much. No one sees what he is doing away from the football field. All these transfer rumours affect him only in a positive way, because he enjoys what he does. And, in the team, we can tell him; ‘well, you’re already at Arsenal, let’s all go!'”
Hence, it is quite clear that Mykhaylo Mudryk is desperate to go to Arsenal in January. However, he has not let it affect the position of his team. Donetsk are currently placed 2nd in the Ukrainian league. They are also one of the top contenders to win the Europa League. However, it is quite clear that Mykhaylo Mudryk wants to play for the Gunners in the best league in the world. Therefore, long negotiations are going to take place during the January transfer window.
Arsenal will hope to get Mykhaylo Mudryk for a lower fee than demanded. This is because they also want to sign a midfielder and center-forward in the January transfer window. However, it is clear that Mudryk remains the No 1 priority of January. They simply cannot wait till the summer transfer window to make it more complicated.
