Telegraph: Arsenal’s first £55 million offer for Mudrick was rejected by miners

December 27-the Daily Telegraph reported that Arsenal’s offer for Shakhtar Donetsk miner winger Mudrick has been rejected by the miners.
The Daily Telegraph has learned that negotiations between Arsenal and the miners are under way and that if Arsenal are willing to raise their offer, there is a good chance that an agreement will be reached.
Arsenal manager Arteta wants to strengthen the front line as soon as possible, but the miners are hoping to receive a transfer fee of 85 million pounds. It is reported that Arsenal’s initial offer is as high as 55 million pounds, far below the miners’ valuation of the winger, who has made eight appearances for the miners’ first team.
Mudrick himself is willing to move to Arsenal and he will have the opportunity to work with international team-mate Zinchenko. Mudrick made it clear in several interviews that he was excited about the opportunity to play for Arsenal and even posted on social media that he had watched Arsenal’s game against West Ham on Boxing Day.
Mudlick mainly plays on the left winger, but he can also play on the right, which can provide competition for Martinelli and Saka. Arsenal brought him in not because of Jesus’s injury, but as a long-term strategy to increase the number of wingers. The club considered Wolves winger Pedro Neto in the summer, but failed to close the deal.
