Your morning Arsenal transfer round-up on Sunday, January 1.
Mudryk sends 2023 transfer message
Ahead of the winter window, Mykhaylo Mudryk has used every opportunity to hint at his desire to move to the Emirates Stadium. Alongside a number of social media messages, the 21-year-old even discussed his future in an interview with CBS Sports journalist Ben Jacobs and claimed he wouldn't be able to say no to the move.
Mudryk hasn't put a stop to his cryptic messages and has showed Arsenal exactly what they will be getting should they sign him. The forward posted a video over a minute long full of goals, skills, assists and impressive play on his private Instagram page.
The clips included his goals against RB Leipzig and Celtic, as well as a number of dazzling attacking runs. Alongside the video, the Gunners target wrote: "Thank God and ZSU (Armed Forces of Ukraine) for this year."
The winger also used 21 Savage and Drake's song 'Circo Loco', with a lyric reading, 'Still gotta see the Gunners win the Premier League'. The hints keep coming.

Man United to rival Arsenal for Abraham
Manchester United are reportedly set to rival Arsenal in the chase for England international Tammy Abraham ahead of the January transfer window.
TEAMTalk have claimed that after missing out on the signing of Dutch sensation Cody Gakpo to Liverpool, United are preparing to make a move of their own for Abraham either in January or the summer of 2023. Boss Erik ten Hag has previously admitted his side are in the market for a striker following Cristiano Ronaldo's high-profile departure from Old Trafford.
Reports that Roma may be willing to accept a cut-price deal for Abraham could strengthen the Red Devils' stance further. Though, as a self-confessed Arsenal supporter, the player might just prefer a move to north London.
Lazio "convinced" Malinkovic-Savic will stay
Lazio "are convinced" that star midfielder Sergej Milinkovic-Savic will remain at the club during the transfer window, according to Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano.
With the Serbian international's contract set to expire in 2024, Arsenal are joined by the likes of Manchester United and Juventus in seeing their desire to sign Milinkovic-Savic reported.
Milinkovic-Savic, who has long been a subject of interest from the Gunners and fellow Premier League sides, has registered 12 direct goal contributions in 20 appearances this season for Maurizio Sarri's side.
Romano outlined the perspective of Milinkovic-Savic's current club on the House of Champions YouTube channel. "It’s not an easy one at all to sign Milinkovic-Savic in January," he explained.
"I was speaking to Lazio sources a few days ago and they are 100% convinced that the player will stay there at least until the end of the season."
