The moment that many who found themselves engrossed in the January transfer window have been anticipating for some time. Mykhailo Mudryk will finally play at Arsenal’s Emirates Stadium after a significant pursuit from the Gunners that ended with Chelsea hijacking the deal.
Arsenal reacted to the blow by pivoting to sign Brighton forward Leandro Trossard. The Gunners moved swiftly and secured a £27million move for the Belgian who has shone since and been an impactful part of the title race.
Meanwhile, Mudryk has not transitioned to the Premier League as successfully. He has not started in five of the last six games for Chelsea with no guarantees that he’ll be in Frank Lampard’s starting eleven Tuesday night.
