Everton are once again being linked with a move for Shakhtar Donetsk winger Mykhaylo Mudryk.
The Blues were first linked with the Ukraine international earlier in the summer. However, no move materialised and the player remained with Shakhtar.
Now, though, a fresh report from Italy has claimed that a move could be back on for Everton. It has been reported by Calciomercato that the Blues could make a January bid for Mudryk.

The report adds, though, that Arsenal are also in the race to sign the 21-year-old. Juventus are also being named as a potential suitor, although it’s suggested that the two Premier League clubs are ahead in the race.
Mudryk has recently spoken about his future amid apparent interest from Everton. Earlier, this week, he admitted he “can’t say no” to the idea of moving to Arsenal, with a move to the Premier League also appealing to him.
“In the winter we will see,” Mudryk told CBS Sports, via Metro , when asked about his future. “There’s been a lot of discussions about a transfer and speculation about what clubs want me.
“But it’s normal. Right now I’m in Shakhtar and I want to play in this team, I love this team, I love every guy in this team. Shakhtar is now my home. It’s important that now all my thoughts are on Shakhtar – but in the winter we will see.’
When asked if he has ambitions of moving to the Premier League, Murdyk replied: “Yes, yes. I think every player dreams of the Premier League.
“It’s hard to say but Arsenal is a very good team, very good coach. I like the way they play. From my side I can’t say no [to Arsenal] but a transfer is not just up to my decision.”
