Arsenal poised to sign 'Ukranian Neymar' Mykhaylo Mudryk from Shakhtar Donetsk

Mykhaylo Mudryk, who has been dubbed the 'Ukrainian Neymar' after bursting on to the scene at Shakhtar Donetsk, looks set to join Arsenal, with a deal in place for around '£40 million.'

The 21-year-old has been chased by clubs around Europe after bagging seven goals in just 12 games in the Ukrainian Premier League this season.

It initially seemed like a move would not materialise as Shakhtar demanded '£90m' for their star winger, but reports in the Mirror suggest the Gunners have been able to agree a deal after his asking price was lowered to £40m plus add-ons.
