Arsenal target drops transfer hint on Instagram 

Arsenal target Mykhailo Mudryk has dropped yet another transfer hint via his Instagram account. While the Gunners were playing against Brighton & Hove Albion, Mudryk posted an image of Mikel Arteta and Roberto De Zerbi together.

The Ukrainian captioned the image:

"2 top coach."

Mudryk has been heavily linked with a move to Arsenal in the upcoming January transfer window. Shakhtar Donetsk want a fee of £85 million for the player but the Gunners are reluctant to pay such a hefty amount.

De Zerbi, who coached Shakhtar before joining Brighton, recently heaped praise on Mudryk. Ahead of the clash against the Gunners, the Italian said (via The Independent):

“Mudryk is a fantastic player but Brighton can’t buy him – I like him, just like all my ex-players I like, but Brighton can’t buy Mudryk. Arsenal, I don’t know. I think Mudryk can win the Ballon d’Or in the future – I know the value of Mudryk, he has the potential to win the Ballon d’Or.”
