Enrique said: “I believe this is going to be done soon, this deal. He is a great player to have a chance to keep fighting for the Premier League. They are doing a great job with Arteta and spending the money on the right players. Well done to Arsenal.”

Structure of the deal has now been agreed & signed. As verbally agreed days ago, €60m + €20m. €10m in 3 instalments, €10m performance related.

The athlete has given several indications that he is eager for this transfer, including the like of a tweet that used the hashtag #FreeMudryk. It’s still early in the window, but it wouldn’t be surprising if this deal continues for a while, in which case Mudryk may like or post a few more things.

What’s next?

According to CBS Sports’ Ben Jacobs, Arsenal’s pursuit of Shakhtar Donetsk winger Mykhailo Mudryk will continue regardless of resistance from Chelsea. The Gunners want to improve on their current place in the Premier League table by making additions to their roster during the next January transfer window.

With Mikel Arteta’s team eight points ahead of second-place Manchester City, who play their game in hand tonight against Chelsea, Arsenal has never had a better opportunity to win the championship and become a powerhouse in English football once again.

The club has submitted an offer of “around €70m” for Mudryk, with Shakhtar asking for €100m, as they try to bolster their front line for the stretch run. The Blues have made two additions in the first five days of the transfer window, indicating their interest. But Jacobs claims that Mudryk prefers to join Arsenal over Graham Potter’s squad.

In a tweet, Jacobs said, “Arsenal have further direct negotiations arranged with Shakhtar on Mykhaylo Mudryk. Also, Shakhtar’s officials are visiting Stamford Bridge to speak with Chelsea. To put it simply, Mudryk is eager to join Arsenal.”
