Leeds United must secure signing of Mykhaylo Mudryk in January
Ukraine winger Mykhaylo Mudryk is looking to leave the club in the January transfer window, and Leeds United should secure his signature.
CBS journalist Ben Jacobs said to Give Me Sport on 10 October that the player has told him that he will assess his future in the January transfer window.
While Arsenal is the club he prefers to join, there’s a long list of Premier League clubs that are vying for his signature.
Arsenal and Everton are reportedly linked with a move for the 21-year-old winger but the deal didn’t materialise.
The Toffees failed with a bid for him during the summer, but they retain an interest in the Shakhtar Donetsk winger.
90 Min reported on September 22 that a host of clubs Brentford, Brighton, Everton, Leeds, Newcastle, West Ham and Wolves were all in attendance at Hampden Park to check the young talent against Scotland.
He would be a cracking signing for the Whites who are struggling a bit after a strong start to the season. Jack Harrison has relatively underperformed in recent games, and the Whites probably need one more quality attacking winger to add depth and quality to the side.
In the Champions League this season, the youngster has scored two goals and has provided two assists. In the Premier Liga, he is yet to open his account, but has registered four assists already.
He is in scintillating form and these are the numbers that will excite any Leeds fans. It’s not a surprise that Newcastle are contemplating whether to lodge a £50 million bid (I news, September 26) for him when the transfer window reopens in January.
If he can replicate those numbers at Elland Road, Leeds will hit a new level under Marsch.
