Chelsea have agreed a deal to sign Shakhtar Donetsk winger Mykhaylo Mudryk on a seven-year deal, according to reports. The forward has been a major target for Arsenal since the summer but the Gunners fell short of meeting the lofty valuation put on him by the Ukrainian club.
The Blues, who have struggled under Graham Potter since losing Reece James in October, have been extremely active in the winter market and are looking to make the 22-year-old their fifth signing of the window already after securing deals for Benoit Badiashile, Andrey Santos, David Datro Fofana and Joao Felix.
Mudryk would be the biggest coup of the lot though, and the most expensive, with a reported £62m deal with £26m coming in add ons. Arsenal's first two bids fell short of the fee demanded by Shakhtar, who wanted to generate a deal rivalling the prices paid for Jack Grealish and Antony by Manchester City and Manchester United, respectively.
