Few things have gone wrong for Arsenal this season - but news of Mykhaylo Mudryk’s Chelsea transfer was a huge setback.
Mudryk had long been identified as Mikel Arteta’s top target, with the Gunners boss in need of extra attacking firepower. Arsenal had two substantial bids turned down by Shakhtar Donetsk, before their London rivals gazumped them with a whopping £87million offer.
It is understood Stamford Bridge bosses signed off on a deal which will see £62m go straight to the Ukrainian giants, with a further £35m to be paid in add-on fees. Mudryk was paraded as Chelsea player during their win over Crystal Palace on Sunday.
