ARSENALà won’t know whetherà to groan or grin after top target Mykhaylo Mudryk notched a sensational solo goal.
Shakhtar Donetsk’s “Ukrainian Neymar”; weaved insideà to thunder a 25-yard equaliser in Tuesday’s 1-1 Champions League draw at Celtic.
The Gunners, Newcastle and Everton are said to be trailing Nice in the race for the winger, 21.
And the eight-cap star could be worth far more than the ã25million the French club are reportedly willing to pay â judging by the response to his midweek strike on social media.
One awed observer posted: “What a player, whoever gets him is so lucky.”;
Another said: “Arsenal bound”; â but a Newcastle follower urged his club chief: “Get this kid in the January window now man. He is a beast.”;
Mudryk’sà all-round play won him yet more British admirers â but his goal stole the show.
Twittterà commentsà included “beautiful”; and “wow, some finish”; as social media agreed he is already a “top player”;.
Encouragingly for these, Mudryk said last month: “My dream is to play in Premier League, of course.
“Arsenal is a very good team, very good manager â so from my side, I canât say no to Arsenal!”;
Villarreal’s Alex Baena is rated an alternative option for the Gunners.
And the Spain Under-21 wideman might be an even attractive option if Shakhtar hold out forthe ã45m it’s claimed they want â almost twice the amount his suitors seem willing to pay.
