Mark Irwin Exclusive: Arsenal want Shakhtar to be realistic with their valuation for Mudryk. And are now hoping to reach a compromise agreement with them and break the deadlock by offering a guaranteed £45m plus as much as £15m in add-ons. https://t.co/0pucPV8R0j
Shakhtar CEO Sergei Palkin tells club media: “Now, literally in 5 minutes, I will have a phone conversation with Arsenal. We are open to negotiations, ready to exchange ideas and figures. If we will agree, then let it be so.”

@PaddyArsenal@afcjxmes Almiron has exceeded expectations but he hasn’t been better than Saka lol
Saka is playing at a world class level for club and country
Almiron plays one game a week, been good but you’re watching a different sport to me if you think Almiron has been better

Can see why some #AFC fans might be concerned by the size of the potential fee for Mudryk. It’s a lot. But Arteta & Edu’s record on big-money transfers has been excellent. Of all their signings who cost more than £20m, it’s maybe only Vieira who isn’t an undisputed success so far
