Arsenal 'agree personal terms with Mykhaylo Mudryk' as they close in on £21m transfer for 'the Ukrainian Neymar' | The Sun

ARSENAL have reportedly agreed personal terms with Shakhtar Donetsk winger Mykhaylo Mudryk.

The Gunners are eager to sign the 21-year-old before the transfer window slams shut on Thursday.

Mikel Arteta has been scouting a new attacker to replace Nicholas Pepe, who joined Nice on a season-long loan last week.

And he believes Mudryk is the perfect candidate to provide competition for Gabriel Martinelli and Bukayo Saka on the wings.

According to Italian sports reporter Rudi Galetti, Arsenal chiefs are hoping to strike a £21million deal with Shakhtar Donetsk.

The Gunners are currently optimistic that an agreement can be reached before Thursday's 11pm curfew.
