Newcastle plan exciting move for Champions League winger after Eddie Howe approval - Report

According to new reports, Newcastle United have joined the race to sign Shakhtar Donetsk star Mykhaylo Mudryk.

Football Insider claim that Eddie Howe is a big admirer of the 21-year-old winger who's burst onto the scene in the Champions League this season, revealing that he's the latest name on our radar in our search for attacking talent.

The Ukrainian was heavily linked with Arsenal and Everton over the summer, with Brentford also seeing a late bid worth £26m rejected by Shakhtar.

He's started the new season in style, scoring in Champions League clashes against RB Leipzig and Celtic to leave his side second in Group F ahead of next month's trip to Real Madrid.

Speaking in a recent interview, Mudryk admitted it is a "dream" of his to play in the Premier League one day, opening the door to a potential January move.

However, with him shining on the Champions League stage with another devastating display last night, the pacey, powerful and technically brilliant winger may cost big money if we step up our reported interest in the new year.
