Chelsea are looking to land a significant blow to London rivals Arsenal in the January transfer window by landing their number one target Mykhaylo Mudryk. That's according to a report from Calciomercato, which claims the Shakhtar Donetsk winger is one of a number of players profiled heading into the market.
It comes ahead of a potentially busy January for the Blues as they look to further strengthen the squad for a strong second half of the season. The emphasis under the new ownership regime appears to be signing quality youngsters for the future, though some will be able to have an immediate impact.
Mudryk would likely fit into this category, with the 21-year-old impressing for his club in the Champions League so far this campaign. Landing the winger would likely be a huge statement of intent from the new owners, given the long standing transfer saga surrounding him.
