New Chelsea owners Boehly-Clearlake flexed their financial muscle once again as they signed Shakhtar Donetsk winger Mykhailo Mudryk in a deal that could be worth up to £88.6million. The 22-year-old signed an eight-and-a-half-year deal on Sunday, which could see him stay until he is 31 years old.
The Ukraine international was paraded around Stamford Bridge at half-time during his new side's 1-0 victory over Crystal Palace. The move comes after months of hints from the winger surrounding a potential switch to rivals Arsenal, who had three bids rejected by Shakhtar in January.
"I’m so happy to sign for Chelsea," Mudryk told the official website. "This is a huge club, in a fantastic league and it is a very attractive project for me at this stage of my career. I’m excited to meet my new team-mates and I’m looking forward to working and learning under Graham Potter and his staff."
