Liverpool keen on wonderkid who "dreams" of the Premier League - Arsenal also watching

Liverpool are reportedly interested in signing Shakhtar Donetsk wonderkid winger Mykhaylo Mudryk, who has been the subject of scouting from many of Europe’s top clubs.

The Ukrainian winger broke through into the first-team at the club at the back end of last season, and has scored twice and picked up two assists in the UEFA Champions League this season.

The Reds are amongst many sides who are looking at the 21-year-old, with Everton, Brentford, Arsenal and Sevilla all in for the winger.

With Sadio Mane, Divock Origi and Takumi Minamino leaving last summer, and Roberto Firmino being in the final year of his contract, Jurgen Klopp's side could certainly do with another forward,

This could lead Liverpool to look Mudryk’s way according to Calciomercato, and reliable journalist Fabrizio Romano confirmed that the winger ‘dreams’ of playing in the Premier League.

"Yes, I think every guy dreams about playing in the Premier League. Arsenal is a very good team, very good coach."

"I like the way they play. Yes, from my side, I can’t say no, but a transfer is not only my decision.”

Mudryk, statistically, is also very impressive. He averaged 4.8 progressive passes per 90 minutes and attempted more than ten dribbles per 90 minutes, having a success rate of over 50 per cent. He loves to attack the wide areas of the pitch.

With times tough in Ukraine amidst tension and war, it could be more than a footballing decision when Mudryk leaves the side. There was heavy flirtation and interest from Bundesliga side Bayer Leverkusen, but things never truly materialised.

Klopp’s Liverpool could be a very interesting prospect for Mudryk, and he could become one of the faces of a new side in transition.

A season or two under the tutelage of world-class wingers Mohamed Salah and Luis Diaz could create a monstrous prospect in the Ukrainian.
