Late Kai Havertz goal sees Arsenal beat Brentford to reach Premier League summit<\/h3>\n

Arsenal have not been put off by last January’s Mykhaylo Mudryk transfer saga and have reportedly maintained contact with Shakhtar Donetsk as they eye a potential deal for the Ukrainian clubs’ next big talent\u00a0Georgiy\u00a0Sudakov.\u00a0<\/p>\n

According to Tutto Juve, Sudakov has impressed Arsenal scouts and is among the growing list of central midfield targets at the Emirates Stadium heading into the winter transfer window. The Italian publication claims that his impressive form has left him in the sights of several top European clubs including Arsenal, Manchester United, Barcelona, Chelsea and Juventus.<\/p>\n

He has scored three goals and grabbed one assist in 15 matches so far this season. While he is predominantly deployed as an attacking midfielder he can also play as a box-to-box midfielder and a winger.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The 21-year-old midfielder is a 12-cap Ukraine international and established himself as a regular starter for Donetsk last season. He has made 79 appearances for his boyhood club as a senior, scoring 13 goals and laying on 13 assists.<\/p>\n

Donetsk haven’t set an official price tag on the youngster but as we know from the Mudryk deal, club president Rinat Akhmetov is a tough negotiator and will look to squeeze out as much money as possible for his players.<\/p>\n

Arsenal were the favourites to snap up the Ukrainian star last year but Chelsea outflanked their London rivals with a bid of \u00a388.5million for their top winter target. The Gunners had been willing to pay the \u00a362m Chelsea paid up front, but crucially the Blues offered \u00a326.5m in add-ons, which the north Londoners were not willing to match.<\/p>\n
