Arsenal are confident of completing a deal worth £80m for Mykhailo Mudryk and believe their incoming signing could make his Premier League debut against Manchester United next weekend.
The Gunners submitted their third mid for Ukraine international Mudryk on Thursday as they look to beat London rivals Chelsea to a deal.
While the finer points of the deal still need to be agreed, there is an acceptance from all parties that the transfer will be completed soon, according to The Times.
Arsenal wanted to pay around £50m upfront but Shakhtar Donetsk are looking for more and want the add-ons to be realistic.
Such has been the progress in talks between Arsenal and Shakhtar, the Gunners are reportedly confident that Mudryk will be available for the club’s Premier League clash against Man United on January 22.
It is claimed the bonus clauses are expected to include Arsenal winning the Premier League – they are currently five points clear at the top of the table – and qualifying for the Champions League.
