The French side are willing to pay £25million plus extras for Mudryk but Shakhtar Donetsk want almost double.

Brentford are the main English club in the hunt despite attempts by Shakhtar to get Everton and Newcastle revved up to join in.

However the Bees and Co are waiting to see if Donetsk get through their Champions League group — with failure possibly lowering their sky-high valuation.

Arsenal are another team who are said to share an interest in the winger, dubbed the ‘Ukrainian Neymar’.
