Arsenal chief, Vinai Venkatesham makes transfer promise after being asked about Mudryk
Arsenal chief Vinai Venkatesham has spoken on Shakhtar Donetsk winger, Mykhailo Mudryk‘s transfer saga and explained the club’s contingency plan if their pursuit falls through.
Indeed, the club have identified Mudryk as their No.1 target and have already had two bids worth up to £62million for the player rebuffed.
The Gunners have targeted a new forward in the January transfer window to consolidate their place at the top of the Premier League. A need for attacking options has also been sharpened by the injury sustained by Gabriel Jesus while at the World Cup with Brazil.

Arsenal are said to be over £20million short of Shakhtar Donetsk’s asking price, with the Ukrainian giants having publicly stated they would accept a bid in the region of £88million for the winger.
Venkatesham insisted the club were prepared should the Mudryk transfer fail to materialize.
While Gunners boss Mikel Arteta would be happy with his squad should Mudryk not join, Venkatesham claimed that a long term had been mapped out to strengthen the team.
