Shakhtar Donetsk CEO Sergei Palkin gave an extensive interview to the British portal The Athletic on Tuesday. During the interview, he was very critical of Arsenal’s handling of the negotiations for Mykhaylo Mudryk.

The striker, who is only 22, was one step away from the Gunners in recent weeks, but he ended up at Chelsea, a club that paid 100 million euros and that, according to the manager, showed superior behavior.

“Arsenal contacted the player almost a month and a half before he contacted us. “Imagine, for example, that Mikel Arteta, Oleksandr Zinchenko, and the sports director [Edu] call you every day, every two days, or every three days,” he replied.
“He may or may not want the transfer, but he has to follow some type of lead.” As for Chelsea, they called me at the end of December and asked if they could contact Mudryk because they were interested in him and wanted to talk to him .
“They contacted the player and the agent and worked out the financial terms.” So why did so many people feel that Mudryk was going to Arsenal? “Because Arsenal contacted him, and Mudryk started watching some Arsenal games,” he added.
