In a shock turn of events, Chelsea are now expected to announce the signing of Mykhaylo Mudryk from Shakhtar Donetsk after talks between the clubs on Saturday. The Ukrainian side themselves have confirmed the talks whilst Chelsea dropped a series of hints on social media before later confirming on their official website that they are 'close to agreeing' a deal to sign him.
Having been the centre of attention from Arsenal throughout the summer and furthermore leading into this month, a deal to land Mudryk is a serious coup for Chelsea, given his impressive performances for Shakhtar in the Champions League. This season he already has 10 goals and eight assists in all competitions.
He is set to join a raft of new signings at Stamford Bridge with Andrey Santos, Benoit Badiashile, Joao Felix and David Datro Fofana already confirmed. When it comes to big name announcements there is also plenty of interest in the commercial activity too.
