Can Mykhailo Mudryk play for Chelsea in the Champions League after completing £88m transfer?

Chelsea have completed five new signings in the January transfer window after Mykhailo Mudryk was presented to fans at Stamford Bridge. The Ukrainian forward look destined to sign for Arsenal before the Blues swooped in and beat their London rivals to an £88million deal.

Mudryk has signed a seven-and-a-half year contract with the option to extend by a further 12 months, joining Benoit Badiashile, David Datro Fofana, Andrey Santos and Joao Felix at Chelsea. Graham Potter remains keen on adding more players to his growing squad as Todd Boehly looks to back his new manager by flexing the Blues' financial power in the transfer market.

The Ukraine international has caught the eye this season after impressing with Shakhtar Donetsk in the Champions League - scoring three goals and providing a further two assists in six appearances. Mudryk has 18 goal contributions in 18 matches so far this season and Potter will hope the £88million man can fire Chelsea towards a top four spot in the second half of the season.
