Fichajes reports Arsenal’s potential interest in Chelsea winger Mykhailo Mudryk, whom they nearly signed before he joined Chelsea in 2023.
Despite advanced talks with Shakhtar Donetsk, Chelsea secured Mudryk with a hefty £88.5 million fee.
However, the 23-year-old has struggled to adapt to English football, tallying just four goals in 42 appearances.
Chelsea’s readiness to part ways with Mudryk has reignited Arsenal’s interest, with Juventus also in the mix, according to Fichajes. Mudryk’s diminished value, now at £34 million, poses a dilemma for Chelsea, who may face a significant loss on their investment.
Navigating the complexities of player transfers and financial considerations, Chelsea finds themselves in an intriguing position. Should Arsenal pursue Mudryk, it would mark a departure from their typical transfer strategy.
While Arsenal seeks reinforcements, particularly in wide areas, investing heavily in a player who’s struggled at a rival club carries inherent risks, raising concerns among fans and pundits alike.
Moreover, Arsenal’s squad requires more than just one addition.
With talents like Gabriel Martinelli and Bukayo Saka already on the roster, Mikel Arteta aims to bolster multiple positions for rotational depth and cover throughout the demanding season.
