Arsenal have already tabled two bids – the second worth up to £62million – for Mudryk, who has made clear his desire to join the north London club.

But on Tuesday, the Ukraine international joined up with his team-mates as they continued their preparations for the second half of the domestic season.

Speaking after Monday night’s FA Cup victory over Oxford United, Arsenal boss Arteta reaffirmed their desire to bring in attacking reinforcements following an injury to Gabriel Jesus.

‘The problem is that we have only one striker and to cope for that many months until Gabby is back is not easy,’ he said.

‘But we have to get the most out of the players that we have at the moment. If we can have some reinforcements, great.’
