Arsenal’s offer for Shakhtar Donetsk winger Mykhaylo Mudryk won’t be enough, but the Ukrainian club could concede on their asking price of €100m.
With Gabriel Jesus ruled out through injury and Arsenal lacking depth in the squad in attacking positions, Mikel Arteta and Edu Gaspar appear to be exploring the transfer market for a new striker as we approach the January window.
Although Eddie Nketiah is a capable replacement for Gabriel Jesus, an injury to either Gabriel Martinelli or Bukayo Saka puts Arsenal in a much weaker position.

Fabrizio Romano has now confirmed to CaughtOffside via his Substack column that an offer of €60m in total is not enough for Mudryk, but they could change his valuation.
So could Mykhaylo Mudryk be the one for Arsenal? They have made an offer for the talented Ukraine international, but it won’t be enough. Shakhtar Donetsk always asked for 100 million euros in public. The feeling is that they can accept less than this, but the €40m plus €20m add-ons that Arsenal are currently offering are not enough.
One would expect €100m to be slightly out of Arsenal’s price range for a winger who cannot initially make the starting XI. However, the Ukrainian could push for a move, and Romano also confirms that Mudryk wants to move to the Emirates.
