Arsenal will be getting a potential Ballon d'Or winner in Mykhailo Mudryk if they can sign the Shakhtar winger, claims Brighton boss Roberto De Zerbi... as the Gunners continue negotiations for the £80m winger

Arsenal will add a potential Ballon d'Or winner to their title-chasing squad if they can sign top target Mykhailo Mudryk, according to Brighton manager Roberto De Zerbi.

Arsenal are hoping to seal a January deal for winger Mudryk, who De Zerbi knows well from their time together at Shakhtar Donetsk.

De Zerbi, whose side host Arsenal on Saturday, said: 'Mudryk is a fantastic player. I like him, because I like all my ex-players. But Brighton can't buy him. Arsenal, I don't know. I think Mudryk can win the Ballon d'Or in the future.
