Arsenal have been boosted in their pursuit of Shakhtar Donetsk star Mykhaylo Mudryk.

The Gunners are set to win the race for the 'Ukrainian Neymar', according to a report.

The Mirror says Arsenal have put the framework in place for a £40million deal for Mudryk.

The 21-year-old winger has drawn plaudits all over Europe with Shakhtar Donetsk.

A fee of £90million suggested, but now it appears a £40million fee plus a series of add-ons will be enough to secure a deal.
