Arsenal have been linked with a move for Shakhtar Donetsk winger Mykhaylo Mudryk for weeks now.
The Gunners reportedly recently submitted an offer of around €60m for the winger, but the Ukrainian club decided to turn it down.
A report from Tutto Mercato Web now claims that the Gunners have made an improved offer for the 21-year-old winger, but it is still inadequate for the Ukrainian club.
Arsenal had initially offered €40m for the 21-year-old and the Ukrainian club reportedly received €20m on top of that, in performance-related bonuses.
The Tutto Mercato Web report does not mention the exact details of the enhanced offer, but it seems that Shakhtar Donetsk are expecting a package of around 70 million euros.
The Gunners need to improve their attacking unit and Mudryk would be a great addition to them in the long run. The 21-year-old can play on either flank and has 10 goals and 8 assists to his name in all competitions this season.

With Gabriel Jesús currently sidelined with injury, Mikel Arteta needs another reliable attacker at his disposal. Mudryk could move into the left wing position leaving Gabriel Martinelli at the front of the line in the absence of his compatriot.
It remains to be seen if Arsenal are prepared to raise their offer again and finalize the transfer before the January window closes. The Gunners are fighting for the Premier League title and cannot afford to take any chances when it comes to improving their squad.
