• Mudryk's potential transfer to the Premier League is continuing to cause jitters among Arsenal fans
• Shakhtar Donetsk's social media admin took full advantage of the situation by toying with Arsenal fans on Twitter
• In a series of tweets, Arsenal fans thought the Ukrainian club was announcing the transfer of Mudryk

Shakhtar Donetsk's social media admin hilariously toyed with Arsenal fans as the saga over Mykhailo Mudryk continued.

This comes at a time when Chelsea have reportedly agreed verbally with Shakhtar to sign the winger in a deal that could rise to over 100 million euros.

Mudryk has been a top transfer target for Mikel Arteta's side but the two clubs are yet to agree on a transfer deal.

Transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano had reported that Arsenal had submitted a transfer fee of 70 million euros for the interesting winger which was being evaluated. He later reported that Chelsea's board had flown to Poland to hijack the move from their London rivals.

Shakhtar's tease on Arsenal

On Saturday, January 13th, Shakhtar decided to toy with Arsenal fans by baiting them with a piece of supposed big news. Arsenal fans trooped to the comment section hoping to read that an agreement had been reached between the two clubs for the transfer of Mudryk.

"We prepared some news for you today," started off the admin.

" Seems like it’s time to reveal the first piece..."

Turns out, the admin was preparing to reveal which games Shakhtar will have during their training camp in Turkey.

But the admin wasn't done. He/she revealed that there was more news coming up, but first, the page had to reach 51,000 followers.

Arsenal fans perhaps thought this was it. The admin even went a step further and tweeted a standalone tweet of "Mudryk?" But it wasn't.

Turns out the admin was setting up to reveal that Mudryk had been awarded the club's player of the month.

"The head coach congratulated the midfielder on winning the Player of the Year award according to fans and presented him with a corresponding trophy "

The Gunners fans were not happy with the admin's click-baiting tactics. They will also be far from happy if Mudryk completes the move to Chelsea.
