Shakhtar Donetsk sensation Mykhaylo Mudryk has confessed that he wouldn’t be able to reject a transfer to Arsenal in January.
The Gunners were heavily linked with signing the 21-year-old in the closing days of the summer transfer window but in the end the transfer didn’t materialise.

The young wide-man - who has been nicknamed "the Ukrainian Neymar" by fans – hit the headlines in August when he liked a post on Instagram claiming that Arsenal are interested in signing him.
And now Mudryk has admitted that he would like to join the Premier League giants if they come calling again in January.
What did Mudryk say?
"Arsenal is a very good team with very good coach and I like the way they play" Mudryk, told CBS Sports.
"From my side, I can't say no [to Arsenal] but the transfer is not only my decision. It's a lot of people, like the president of Shakhtar and the club.
"Every guy dreams about the Premier League. It's a top league and everyone wants to play in it. But the speculation has passed and I must move forward and focus on Shakhtar and in winter we will see what will happen.
"There was a lot of discussions about a transfer and clubs who want me, but it's normal. Now I am at Shakhtar and I want to play in this team. I love this team. I love every guy in this team. Shakhtar for me is home, but I want to always improve myself and achieve new goals. Now, all my thoughts are only about Shakhtar but in the winter we will see."
Mudryk was in fine form for Shakhtar last week as they beat Leipzig 4-1, scoring one of his team’s goals.
