Mykhaylo Mudryk has admitted that he's been 'studying English for a long time' amid reports linking the Ukraine international with Premier League duo Arsenal.
It appears the youngster is very open to a move to Arsenal, who need more depth in their wide areas. Speaking to CBS Sports back in September, he said: "I think every guy dreams about the Premier League. It's hard to say [who his preferred move is], but Arsenal is a very good team, very good coach. I like the way they play."
When asked if he would make a move to the Emirates, he said: "From my side, I can't say no [to Arsenal]. But the transfer is not only my decision."

Reports suggested earlier this month that Arsenal had held 'positive talks' over a move. Rumours then gathered pace when news emerged that the Gunners are serious about a transfer and are said to have made a bid.
Now, rather encouragingly, he's admitted that he's continuously learning English. Speaking to Bombadier on YouTube, he said: "I have given maybe a dozen interviews in English. I've been studying English for a long time."
Mudryk has seven goals for Donetsk this season, with three of those coming in the Champions League. His arrival would certainly be welcomed in north London, and he would ultimately add great depth to those wide areas. Knowing the language is an additional bonus.
