Chelsea eye second Arsenal 'hijack' for £25m forward after securing Mykhailo Mudryk transfer

Chelsea could be set to deal their rivals Arsenal yet another blow in the January transfer window with a move for one of their transfer targets. The links come shortly after the Blues already successfully "hijacked" the Gunners' move for Shakhtar Donetsk winger Mykhailo Mudryk.

The 22-year-old was confirmed as a new Chelsea player on Sunday, signing an eight-and-a-half-year deal following an £88.6million agreement between the two clubs. Arsenal had seen three bids to Shakhtar turned down, though backed out as soon as they were outbid.

Upon his arrival, Mudryk said: "I’m so happy to sign for Chelsea. 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."
