Arsenal have been linked with a move for Shakhtar Donetsk winger Mykhaylo Mudryk in recent weeks.
The Premier League giants have reportedly turned down a bit of around €40m plus bonuses for the 21-year-old winger, but the Gunners aren’t prepared to give up the transfer chase just yet.
A report from tuttomercatoweb claims that Arsenal could increase their offer to around €50m (£44m) without bonuses and it will be interesting to see if the Ukrainian team are prepared to accept the improved offer.
Mudryk has been a key player for Shakhtar this season and has 10 goals and 8 assists in all competitions.
The Ukrainian club are reportedly expecting to pay around €60m for the 21-year-old and it remains to be seen if the two clubs can come to an agreement.
Arsenal are in desperate need of attacking reinforcements, especially after the injury to Gabriel Jesus and Mudryk could prove to be a quality acquisition in the long run.

The 21-year-old can play on either flank and his arrival would allow Mikel Arteta to rotate his three forwards from time to time. In Jesús’s absence, Arteta could look to use Gabriel Martinelli as his striker and Mudryk could slot in as a left winger.
The 21-year-old has shown his quality in the Champions League and should be able to settle in and make his mark in the Premier League as well.
Arteta has done well to improve Arsenal’s young attackers and could also have a positive influence on Mudryk’s development.
