Shakhtar Donetsk winger, Mykhaylo Mudryk, has been told to learn from PSG and French striker, Kylian Mbappe if he wants to reach his full potential after making a switch to the English Premier League(EPL).
Mudryk has continually teased Arsenal fans over a possible move to the north London club on social media and in a recent interview with CBS, said: “I do dream (of the Premier League).
“I think every guy dreams about the Premier League. Arsenal is a very good team with a very good coach. I like the way they play. Yes, it would be hard to say no from my side, I can’t say no but the transfer is not only my decision and my word.”

Since the Gunners indicated interest to sign the Ukrainian winger, London rivals, Chelsea, have looked to hijack the deal, as they have also held talks with Shakhtar officials.
In fact, Darijo Srna, the director of football of Shakhtar Donetsk was spotted at Stamford Bridge during Chelsea’s league clash with Manchester City.
It remains to be seen which side will win the transfer battle, however, amid those uncertainties, Ukrainian coach Vyacheslav Grozny has advised Mudryk to emulate Mbappe if he wants to adapt well to the EPL.
According to the coach, both players are similar and a tip from Mbappe on how to be versatile will help the Ukraine international if he eventually leaves for England.
Grozny told UA Football: “If Mudryk doesn’t find a highlight, opponents will quickly get used to his style of play, as it was with Mbappe at the beginning of his career in Monaco. Everyone knows Mudryk’s speed, so they will put a fast player and one insurance player against him.”
