Chelsea have agreed an £87million deal to sign Mykhaylo Mudryk after swooping in under Arsenal's nose to hijack the Gunners' move for the winger.
Mudryk has been Mikel Arteta's top target for much of the January transfer window, with the Gunners having at least one bid rejected by Shakhtar Donetsk. But Chelsea's interest has grown with their season on life support amid a miserable run of results.
The Blues have turned to the transfer market in a bid to boost Graham Potter's squad, signing Joao Felix in midweek. Now, they have moved to hijack Arsenal's move for Mudryk, who is all but certain to leave Shakhtar this month.
