Chelsea player who turned down Arsenal’s offer last summer is now pleading for another chance to play for Arteta after being urged by Pochettino to find a new club in the summer.
Fichajes reports indicate that Arsenal is contemplating a surprising move for Chelsea winger Mykhailo Mudryk. The Gunners were on the verge of securing the Ukrainian player’s signature before he opted for Chelsea in 2023, disrupting Arsenal’s negotiation with Shakhtar Donetsk by agreeing to a substantial £88.5 million deal.
Despite Mudryk’s high-profile move to Stamford Bridge, the 23-year-old has struggled to adapt in England, falling short of expectations with only four goals in 42 appearances for Chelsea. Recent speculations suggest that Chelsea might be considering cutting their losses, with Arsenal emerging as the primary contenders alongside Italian giants Juventus for Mudryk’s signature.
Chelsea, facing the prospect of not recouping the £88.5 million spent on Mudryk, valued at approximately £34 million by Transfermarkt, will face an intriguing situation in the coming months.
While Arsenal has a clear need for a quality winger, pursuing Mudryk would be a surprising turn of events. Given the youngster’s challenging tenure at Chelsea, there may be anxiety among Arsenal fans if the club decides to make a substantial investment in him.
Moreover, Arsenal’s need for squad depth is apparent, especially in the wide areas. Mikel Arteta requires additional options to rotate players like Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli in the upcoming season, addressing the team’s need for depth across multiple positions.
