Chelsea have confirmed they are on the verge of signing Mykhaylo Mudryk and are telling their fans to follow him on social media already... with Shakhtar Donetsk's blessing.
The Ukraine international, 22, was tipped to join Arsenal this month and had flirted extensively with the Gunners on social media. But Chelsea have hijacked the transfer. It's believed the Blues have agreed a £97million deal with Shakhtar for the talented youngster, who is set to sign a seven-year contract at Stamford Bridge.
Confirmation of the transfer is expected to be announced imminently and a club statement said: "Chelsea are discussing terms with Shakhtar Donetsk for the transfer of Mykhaylo Mudryk. Should a deal be agreed between the two clubs then the Ukrainian international, who can operate as a winger or a forward, will discuss personal terms with the Blues ahead of a permanent transfer."
