According to reports, Everton will not bid for Arsenal target Mykhaylo Mudryk. The report also claims that his price tag is too high for them. It also claims that Everton are aware that the Gunners are his first preference. Hence, they will pursue a different target in the January transfer window.

The report also claims that the bid was in the region of 30 million. However, the Ukrainian side immediately rejected the bid. Arsenal were also monitoring his situation. Although, no bid was made for him in the summer transfer window. However, Mykhaylo has said in an interview that he would like to join a top European team in the January transfer window.
ARSENAL WILL HAVE A BIG CHANCE TO SECURE HIS SIGNATURE IN THE JANUARY TRANSFER WINDOW
Mykhaylo Mudryk has said in several interviews that his first preference is to join Arsenal in January. He has also requested Shakhtar to reduce his price tag. The Ukrainian are demanding a mega fee of 100 million for their star winger. Hence, the winger wants them to reduce the fee to facilitate a move to Mikel Arteta’s side.
Therefore, it is clear with Everton’s withdrawal, the Gunners are the only team in for his signature. Therefore, it is going to be a big chance for Mikel Arteta to secure his signature. Shakhtar Donetsk have advised him to stay at the club until the end of the season. However, the player thinks this is the best time for him to join Arsenal.
Arsenal will also hope that they can sign for a fee of less than 100 million. This will help them spend the rest of the budget on the midfielder signing. Hence, Mikel Arteta will have to make some big decisions on transfers in the January transfer window.
