Arsenal and Shakhtar Donetsk are reportedly close to agreeing a transfer fee ahead of Mykhaylo Mudryk's proposed move to the Emirates.
The Gunners are hoping to sign Mudryk, 22, during the January transfer window but face competition from Premier League rivals Chelsea. The Ukrainian winger has made no secret of his desire to work under Mikel Arteta, despite interest from Graham Potter's side.
Arsenal and Shakhtar, who have slapped a €100million (£88m) price tag on Mudryk, have been locked in talks for weeks - yet it seems a resolution is just around the corner. Chelsea, meanwhile, are now set to sign Joao Felix from Atletico Madrid instead.
