Arsenal fans have once again proven they're one of a kind after finding 'proof' of January transfer target Mykhailo Mudryk in the UK.
The Shakhtar Donetsk winger is Mikel Arteta's top transfer target in January, with the Gunners already having a £55 million proposal turned down.
Mudryk is keen on the move and has reportedly agreed on personal terms, according to the Mirror.
He shared an image of himself watching Arsenal's 4-2 win over Brighton to his Instagram story on Saturday evening. The 21-year-old referred to Arteta and Seagulls boss Roberto De Zerbi as 'top coaches'.

All that's left now is for Arsenal to agree on a fee with Shakhtar for Mudryk. He's scored 10 goals and registered eight assists in 18 games this season, including three in the Champions League.
Supporters on social media have already decided a deal is imminent after doing some detective work. Trust us when we say this is next-level stuff.
@Nicopierre1493 kicked it all off on Sunday evening by sharing an image of Mudryk in a gym.
It looks innocent enough, a player working out during his downtime. Nico decided to scratch beneath the surface to send Twitter into a meltdown.
He suggested Mudryk could already be in the country after spotting a Kettler weight bench. For those who don't know, Kettler is a German-based company which produces fitness gear. It's popular in the United Kingdom, although they are available worldwide.
Nico pointed out Mudryk was wearing slippers in the gym, which you could only do in a hotel. Finally, a message on the door is written in English. He said: "Is Mudryk in the UK? It looks as though he's in a hotel with hotel slippers. The weight bench is 'Kettler'. The 'private' on the door is written in English. He may be in London already."
Someone in the replies claimed the smoke alarm on the roof is a UK-based model. You can't make it up.
Everyone is loving the attention to detail online, something the Arsenal faithful have become known for in recent years.
One person said: "Bruh this fanbase is insane! You guys have the skills of Sherlock f**king Holmes!"
Another commented: "Arsenal Twitter is completely undefeated."
A third put: "Investigative transfer market journalism 101."
While someone tweeted: "Damn you have a lot of time on your hands."
Arsenal are currently seven points clear of Manchester City at the top of the Premier League. Arteta confirmed his side would be 'active' in the transfer market following Gabriel Jesus' knee injury during the World Cup.
The Spaniard said: “I never gave a date [for Jesus' return. I said that we don’t know. It’s gonna take some time for sure.
"He’s gone through surgery and that tells you the extent of the injury, so we will be in the market always active and we will assess the biggest opportunities that we have.
"We are going to be active and active means we are looking to strengthen the team.
"This squad still doesn’t have the luxury of not maximising every single window. We have to do that because it’s really important but then we have to get the right profile. It has to be the right player to take us to the next level."
