Chelsea unveiled Mykhailo Mudryk as their fifth signing of the January transfer window on Sunday afternoon. The Blues hijacked Arsenal's move for the 22-year-old and secured an £88million deal to sign the winger to bolster Graham Potter's attacking options.
Chelsea sent delegates to meet with Shakhtar Donetsk chiefs and thrash out a deal swiftly after initially holding a meeting at Stamford Bridge earlier this month. Mudryk had expressed a desire to move to the Premier League and despite serious interest from the Gunners, it was the Blues that won the race for his signature.
There is expected to be more incomings at Stamford Bridge before the January transfer window slams shut, with a central midfielder and backup option for Reece James thought to be on Todd Boehly's agenda. The Blues may be able to repeat a similar trick as the Mudryk deal once again and sign the perfect deputy for the England international by hijacking a move for another Arsenal transfer target.
