Liverpool 'enter race' to sign Shakhtar Donetsk sensation Mykhaylo Mudryk

Liverpool are rumoured to be interested in making a move for Shakhtar Donetsk winger Mykhaylo Mudryk.

The Ukraine international has been the subject of much transfer speculation recently and Italian outlet Calciomercato have said the Reds are now amongst the clubs said to be keeping a close eye on the situation.

Liverpool's neighbours Everton were said to be interested in the winger in the summer, but the move didn't come off and now it's claimed that Premier League leaders Arsenal and Jurgen Klopp 's side have joined the race.

After losing Sadio Mane to Bayern Munich in the summer, Mudryk could be seen at Liverpool as a more direct replacement than that of Darwin Nunez - who is a central striker.

Brentford are said to have come closest to signing the Ukrainian in the summer with Arsenal reportedly pulling out of any potential deal because of the £30 million valuation.

Journalist Fabrizio Romano told CBS Sport that Mudryk "dreams" of playing in the Premier League - a dream he could realise with Liverpool.
