Chelsea are reportedly ready to hijack Arsenal's pursuit of Ukraine international Mykhaylo Mudryk.
Arsenal were said to have agreed terms with the forward on New Year's Day, as they continue their pursuit of reinforcements to their front-line. However, they are some way short of Shakhtar Donetsk's asking price for their star man.
An initial bid from the Gunners, worth £55m, has been knocked back by the Ukrainian high-flyers. While talks are ongoing between the clubs, Chelsea could take advantage of the hesitation to land the in-demand 21-year-old.
