Arsenal 'hold positive talks' with highly-rated Shakhtar Donetsk winger Mykhaylo Mudryk... but Ukrainian side 'have increased their price-tag to £65MILLION' for the in-demand winger

Arsenal have reportedly held 'positive talks' with Shakhtar Donetsk winger Mykhaylo Mudryk, according to Fabrizio Romano.

The club had previously looked at the Ukrainian's availability but decided not to bring him to the Emirates due, in part, to his £45m price tag.

But the Italian journalist has delivered promising update for Arsenal fans, claiming the 21-year-old could be close to a move to North London within the next few months.

'We know they [Arsenal] wanted a winger. Raphinha was the dream, but it was not possible to proceed,' Romano said on his YouTube channel.
