Mykhaylo Mudryk has seemingly underlined his desire to join Arsenal after they submitted a fresh bid for the forward.
Shakhtar Donetsk are holding out for top dollar after revealing they were open to selling the 21-year-old. The Gunners have been the club most actively chasing the Ukrainian but have seen their opening offers knocked back. Shakhtar themselves want around £85m.
Arsenal have now submitted an offer of £62m plus add-ons, which would take the overall deal to around £70m. Mudryk himself is keen on a switch to north London and posted a cryptic story on his Instagram of two hands praying, as if to suggest he's hopeful a deal can be struck.
