According to a report from Fichajes, Arsenal is contemplating a surprising move for Chelsea winger Mykhailo Mudryk. Mudryk, who snubbed Arsenal for Chelsea in 2023 with a whopping £88.5 million deal, has failed to live up to expectations since his arrival at Stamford Bridge, managing only four goals in 42 appearances.
Chelsea’s potential willingness to offload Mudryk has sparked speculation, with Arsenal and Juventus emerging as frontrunners for his signature. However, Chelsea might incur a financial loss if they decide to sell Mudryk, whose market value has plummeted to £34 million.
Arsenal’s interest in Mudryk comes as a shock considering his struggles at Chelsea, prompting concerns among fans about investing heavily in him. Despite the surprise factor, Arsenal is in dire need of bolstering their winger options, especially with deficiencies in various areas of the squad.
Manager Mikel Arteta aims to enhance squad depth, particularly in wide positions, which could involve more effective rotation of players like Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli in the upcoming season. How this potential transfer saga unfolds in the coming months remains uncertain, adding intrigue to Arsenal’s transfer plans.
