Chelsea have dropped another huge hint that Mykhaylo Mudryk's move to Stamford Bridge has now been completed. The 22-year-old was heavily linked with a move to Arsenal at the start of month but the Blues appear to have swooped in and snatched the winger from their rival's grasp.
Talks between the Gunners and Shakhtar Donetsk were thought to have been progressing well, with Mikel Arteta's side tabling an initial bid in the region of £55million in late December, football.london understands.
Since then, Arsenal have remained in contact with the Ukrainian side and, as recently as Friday, there was confidence that they were getting a deal. Then, on Saturday, Chelsea submitted a bid of their own which is thought to be around £88million; Shakhtar's long-standing asking price, including add-ons.
