Mykhailo Mudryk, a winger headed to Arsenal, has earned praise from former Arsenal defender Bacary Sagna.

It won't be long before Arsenal makes the announcement that Mudryk has been acquired from Shakhtar Donetsk.

The winger is Mikel Arteta's top target for a January transfer, and the north London club has made two offers recently.

According to reports, Mudryk has already verbally agreed to a five-year contract and is desperate to sign with Arsenal.

“He’ll be joining the club,” Sagna told Lord Ping.

“I first saw him in 2020, when he wasn’t involved with the Shakhtar first team—I think it was a Ukrainian under-20 game."

“I liked the way he played." He has great agility, and you can definitely tell he is a good player. Technically, he is very good, and his speed is scary—it is like he can fly. "He is that quick with the ball.”
