Shakhtar Donetsk are expected to reject Arsenal’s improved bid for Mykhailo Mudryk as they utilise Chelsea’s interest to their advantage.<\/p>\n

Talks are taking place with Chelsea over the next 24 hours with Shakhtar Donetsk chief executive Sergei Palkin and Darijo Srna, Shakhtar’s director of football, in London.<\/p>\n

Arsenal made an improved offer of \u00a345million rising to \u00a362m for Mudryk who has maintained he wishes to join Arsenal.<\/p>\n

Shakhtar Donetsk are expected to reject Arsenal’s improved offer for Mykhailo Mudryk and use Chelsea’s interest to their advantage<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

However, Shakhtar have said they want closer to \u00a385m and Chelsea’s presence in talks could push offers closer to their valuation.<\/p>\n

Mudryk is Mikel Arteta’s primary target this month and Arsenal have made two bids for the Ukraine winger, who turned 22 on January 5.<\/p>\n

The first, believed to be worth around \u00a352million, was turned down by Shakhtar, who publicly Mudryk at around \u00a388m.<\/p>\n

The Ukrainian forward is Mikel Arteta’s primary transfer target in the January transfer window<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Arsenal returned with an improved offer, understood to be worth up to \u00a362m, and there was optimism that a deal would be agreed in this transfer window. <\/p>\n

But they could now face competition from Chelsea, who are understood to be exploring a possible move for Mudryk.<\/p>\n

Sources in Ukraine have told Sportsmail that, with CEO Palkin now talking to both clubs, Shakhtar are likely to turn down Arsenal’s improved offer as it remains ‘far away’ from their \u00a388m target. <\/p>\n

Shakhtar are believed to value Mudryk at around \u20ac100m (\u00a388m) with Chelsea also interested<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Shakhtar see Jack Grealish’s \u00a3100m move to Manchester CIty and Antony’s \u00a385m transfer to Manchester United as a barometer for any fee for Mudryk, who has shone so far this season<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Srna, Shakhtar’s director of football, is said to be in England for talks over the coming days. The Croatian visits London fairly regularly, Sportsmail understands, because his family live in the city.<\/p>\n

Chelsea are not believed to have tabled their own bid for Mudryk, as things stand, but their interest could force his price up. That is despite the winger making clear his desire to join Arsenal.<\/p>\n

Shakhtar see Jack Grealish’s move to Manchester CIty and Antony’s transfer to Manchester United as a barometer for any fee for Mudryk, who was described as a potential Ballon d’Or winner by his former manager Roberto De Zerbi.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
