Mykhailo Mudryk is seeing a move to England speculated on, with the Shakhtar Donetsk star being mocked by his own team-mates over links to Arsenal.

All these transfer rumours affect him only in a positive way, because he enjoys what he does. No one sees what he is doing away from the football field. It is considered to be only a matter of time before he links up with a European heavyweight, and those currently working alongside him are eager to keep reminding Mudryk that he is seemingly destined for the top.

In the end, Shakhtar Donetsk lost heavily to RB Leipzig, ending their Champions League campaign. But the result isn't the story. It's the journey.

We aren't fighting the war for our citizens, but we can play football and we are trying to be their symbol in what is an awful, terrible, unbelievable situation." Shakhtar will continue to fly the flag for Ukraine and remain a symbol of Donetsk in the Europa League when the competitions resumes in February. "Of course, it is important for us to be able to play in Europe next February," he said. We are playing Champions League and all of my players have been ready to fight every game, whether to continue in the Champions League or go to the Europa. "We have done this since 2014, but now we represent all of Ukraine because only one team is playing at the high level in Europe and that is Shakhtar. "It was the first time we went to the basement because of an air raid," Stepanenko said. No other team in Europe has to do it like us, we are travelling all the time, so there is a real accumulation of mental and physical fatigue. "But it has an underground car park, so the reason we believe it has avoided too much damage is because it's being used by the Russians to store their weapons." For the past eight years, Shakhtar have led a nomadic existence as a result, playing home games in Lviv (750 miles away), Kharkiv (190 miles) and Kyiv (450 miles). It is a 930-mile journey from Donetsk to Warsaw, but it is a road less travelled in such bleak times that ensure Shakhtar must play their Champions League home games in the Polish capital. We beat Leipzig once, to beat them twice we would be like the champions of the world. "Shakhtar is our team, we had to come," Maxim said.
