Arsenal hopes to sign Mykhailo Mudryk in the near future, but will it happen, and what will they do if they don’t? According to reports, Arsenal’s first bid for the Ukrainian was rejected; that bid was worth 52.7 million, the initial offer plus add-ons. Of course, Arsenal has returned to Shakhtar with an improved offer, which is also expected to be rejected. All in all, Arsenal may consider themselves favourites to sign Mudryk because he has stated his desire to join them.
However, their unwillingness to pay a high price for Ukrainian Neymar is causing them to fall behind in the race to sign him, as Chelsea has firmly entered the race and is set to negotiate with Shaktar chiefs. Anyone who knows Chelsea knows that in a bidding war, few teams stand a chance.
Arsenal may require a backup plan if Mudryk is not signed, and Team Talk claims Edu already has one. According to the publication, Edu is already planning to sign Napoli winger Hirving Lozano.
The Mexican will be a free agent in 2024, and the Serie A club has been unwilling to offer him a new contract that matches his salary demands, so they may need to cash in on him. Edu is strategically positioning himself to secure Lozano’s services. So, if Arsenal does not sign Mudryk, Lozano could be a player to keep an eye on.
