The report adds: ‘A clear indication over Mudryk’s’ future could come shortly as Shakthar’s training camp in Turkey begins on Monday January 9. “If I had the choice, I’d choose Chelsea over Arsenal and that’s not me dismissing the good work Mikel Arteta and Arsenal are doing, but I just think over a three or four-year period, the Blues are the better project and the club more likely to consistently compete for silverware. Mudryk’s preference is to join the Gunners, but despite Mikel Arteta’s side being the runaway Premier League leaders, Collymore believes Chelsea owner Todd Boehly can sell a “better project” and the chance to “consistently compete for silverware.

Eddie Nketiah bagged a brace to help us ease past Oxford United in the FA Cup third round.

And on 76 minutes, the striker showed more excellent composure to add his second and our third of the night. That goal seemingly broke the resilience of the hosts, and just seven minutes later we doubled our advantage. After the restart, our tempo was higher and we immediately began causing more problems for our opponents.

Arsenal will face Manchester City in the fourth round of the FA Cup after a 3-0 win at Oxford secured their progress.

“He contributed in a big way to win this game.” So did Nketiah, who has scored four in four since being pressed into regular action and was described by his manager as “getting better and better”. “We got a little bit giddy and committed far too many forward,” Robinson said of Oxford’s attempts to equalise. “I’m not too sure whether it was a free-kick,” the Oxford manager Karl Robinson said. Cameron Brannagan barged Kieran Tierney out of the way and Ciaron Brown, a rangy left-back, left Saka in a heap. Their centre-forward, Matty Taylor, provided the obligatory minor scare when he could not prod past Matt Turner shortly after the break but that was the sum of their opportunities. The Premier League leaders eventually bucked up and picked them off with three goals in 13 minutes, meaning this went down as a job well done and banishing the looming spectre of a replay.

Mikel Arteta is increasingly confident of signing Mykhaylo Mudryk this month after the latest developments appeared to turn the tide in Arsenal's favour.

Arteta is expected to shake up his side for the game, though will want a return to winning ways. Indeed, they were held to a disappointing 0-0 draw by Newcastle in their last game. Firstly, the player himself has always made clear his ambitions to sign for Arsenal. They remain five-points clear of Manchester City at the top of the Premier League table. However, striking a deal with Shakhtar Donestsk was proving difficult – and the issue has been further complicated by interest from Chelsea. Indeed, the Gunners’ second gambit of £44.2m plus add-ons was swiftly rebuffed by Shakhtar.

Nketiah then sealed the win by taking his tally to four goals in as many games since the World Cup break.

A pair of second-half goals from Eddie Nketiah saw Arsenal past a stubborn Oxford United side by a final score of 3-0 in the FA Cup third round on Monday.

Arsenal are on the brink of reaching an agreement to sign Mykhaylo Mudryk after talks overnight reportedly saw Edu finally secure a transfer breakthrough.

And the Gunners boss is hoping he can get his hands on a new midfielder as he seeks cover for Thomas Partey and Granit Xhaka. And that remains around just how much of the fee is paid in bonuses. In order to boost their hopes, the Gunners boss is desperate to add to his side. To that end, they have quickly honed in on the signing of Mudryk. The Gunners, though, always believed he can be prised away for much less and have remain unfazed in the pursuit. Gunners boss Mikel Arteta has made no secret of his wish to strengthen his title-chasing squad.

But if Arsenal does sign Mudryk, it makes perfect sense and slots in with their identity as a club. Arsenal second proposal for Mykhaylo Mudryk is close to €50m fixed fee plus add-ons. Romano adds that if Arsenal and Shakhtar cannot agree a fee, Chelsea are waiting in the wings to snap up the extremely talented Ukraine international.

That said, a report from the Daily Express suggests that Shakhtar are finally open to negotiating down their asking price of $100 million and some compromises are being found.

Copyright 2023 The Arsenal Football Club plc. Miguel Azeez has been recalled from his loan at UD Ibiza and has joined Wigan Athletic on loan for the remainder of the season. The 20-year-old has made 11 appearances in total for UD Ibiza this season and will now spend the second half of the campaign with former Arsenal contingent, Kolo Toure and Kevin Betsy at Wigan Athletic in the Championship.

Mikel Arteta admits that Arsenal's lack of striking options is a “problem”, with the Gunners seemingly missing out on Joao Felix to Chelsea.

And to go for that many months until Gabby is back is not easy. I will try to do that and if we have any reinforcements, great.” Arteta is reluctant to be drawn into a debate regarding specific transfer targets, but concedes that he needs to work hard on improving those at his disposal while also reinforcing collective ranks at Emirates Stadium.

Azeez made his senior debut for the Gunners in a Europa League game against Dundalk in December 2020, but has not played for Mikel Arteta's men since.

if Wigan can get a deal over the line quickly, Azeez could be in line to make his debut for the club when they travel to fellow strugglers Cardiff on Saturday. Another loan could now be on the cards for Azeez, with Wigan keen on bringing him in until the end of the season as they look to stave off the threat of relegation.

Chelsea, Everton and others should pay attention. Over at Everton, Farhad Moshiri has been more than happy to chop and change. It makes Arteta's success at Arsenal - the product of patience and quiet building - all the more satisfying to see. Managers seem to be halfway to the sack before they've even taken charge of a game. Everton gave a good account of themselves before succumbing to Man United in the FA Cup Everton's fans have not turned on Lampard in the same way Chelsea's have on Potter, mainly due to the realisation that such a turnover of managers is more indicative of issues behind the scenes. Potter was never going to be the kind of manager who came in, shook things up and delivered a trophy within a few months. Many Arsenal fans were calling on the club's hierarchy to sack Arteta and let someone else have a go in the wake of damaging early season losses to Brentford, Chelsea and City. The vote of confidence in the January window will be welcome but it comes with the imperative that results need to improve - and fast.

So, with Felix on his way to Chelsea and Mudryk seemingly edging closer to Arsenal, who else could Mikel Arteta target should he want to sign not one but two forwards this month? However, Shakhtar have remained reluctant to soften their stance as they hold out for a fee closer to their valuation of around £88million.
