Mikel Arteta's men top the Premier League table and lead the current champions, Manchester City, by five points.
Mudryk spoke to Arsenal defender Oleksandr Zinchenko's wife in an interview and was very open about his future.
Speaking on his YouTube channel, Charles Watts from GOAL.com said: “Arsenal are interested in him [Mudryk], no doubt about that.
“He’s definitely a player that’s going to generate lots of headlines, especially if he keeps talking the way he did in this video. I don’t know if you want to describe it as a come-and-get-me plea, but it was certainly someone waving a flag in the air saying, ‘look, somebody please sign me in January’.”
