In the UEFA Europa League group stage, Sakda's 21-year-old winger Mediatek was in the spotlight, the "Ukrainian Nima" soccer star was rumored to be on the verge of joining the Premier League before the end of the last transfer window, but Arsenal's transfer deal came to an abrupt end at the last minute. Arsenal are reportedly planning to make a fresh attempt to sign Mediatek in the January transfer window, and a move to the Premier League seems imminent.
It was reported that Arsenal had made a £20 million offer for Mediatek, but with Sacda demanding £30 million and Arsenal adjusting their strategy due to injuries to the midfielder, the transfer deal ultimately failed to materialize. However, according to The Sun, Arsenal and Mediatek have agreed on personal terms, and once the time is right, the "Arsenal" will try to buy the winger again.
Medick is unique on the pitch with his speed and skill and clubs such as Binford and Ewarton are reportedly salivating over him. If Medick performs well in this year's Eredivisie group stage, more teams may enter the fray.
