It looks like Chelsea have hijacked Arsenal's move for the Mykhailo Mudryk...
And if they want to win the league, they need depth. Mudryk has clocked the fastest top speed in the UCL this season; his direct dribbling and clinical touch made him the perfect Gabriel Martinelli alternative.
So, let's find someone similar.
Based on our parameters, Kylian Mbappé is the best match. Although unrealistic, it's a good indicator that we're finding the right type of player.
Next on the list? Kvaradona. The Georgian is the dream option while Rafael Leão represents another premium pick from Serie A.
Xavi Simons proved he has what it takes against Arsenal in the Europa League=, but PSV would not want to sell an entire front line in one window.
Iliman Ndiaye ranked favourably in our search, but on closer inspection, the silky Senegalese may be better suited to Arsenal's centre-forward role. The same applies to New York City F.C.'s Talles Magno - the Brazilian is now playing centrally on a more regular basis but is a natural winger.
It's no surprise to learn that Moussa Diaby has been on Arsenal's radar, his mix of lightning speed and ruthless finishing is just what they're after. And, although left-footed, he excels on the orthodox side in a similar way to Leroy Sané during his Man City days - which Mikel Arteta knows all about.
Mohammed Kudus is another relentlessly direct left-footed option. The Ghanian has been used in a central position for club & country but his ability to generate shooting opportunities single-handedly could be worth investigating further.
Under-the-radar alternatives include Dango Outarra from Lorient, Galatasaray's Kerem Aktürkoglu, Porto's Galeno, and Eintracht Frankfurt's Jesper Lindstrøm.
Perhaps the best option in terms of play style, affordability and adaptingly, however, is Kaoru Mitoma.
The Japenese international has written a thesis in the art of dribbling and is now schooling Premier League full-backs week in, week out. Clincal, direct and non-stop. Class dismissed.
