Arsenal

Arsenal are reportedly confident of securing the signing of Shakhtar Donetsk winger Mykhaylo Mudryk. Football Insider claim they have been given the ‘green light’ to land the Ukraine international this winter. The 21-year-old is being tipped for a bright future in the game.

Martin Odegaard believes the Gunners need to keep focusing on themselves and not 2nd place Manchester City. He has told the club website: “As we’ve said many times, we focus on ourselves. We don’t care too much about the other teams. We’re just focused on ourselves. Keep working hard, stay humble. We look for the next game and win that one. That’s all that matters.”
