Ian Wright admits Arsenal cannot hope to match the vast sums of money high-rolling Chelsea are forking out after the Gunners missed out on the signing of Mykhaylo Mudryk.
The Ukraine winger, 22, officially joined the Blues from Shakhtar Donetsk on Sunday afternoon in a deal worth £87million. He has signed an eight-and-a-half year contract and is expected to earn more than £100,000 per week with the Premier League giants.
Arsenal had been winning the race to sign Mudryk and submitted multiple bids to prise him from his homeland, with Mikel Arteta pushing to bring him to Emirates Stadium. However, Chelsea swooped in to beat their London rivals to the signing, stumping up an initial fee of £62million and tabling a mammoth contract to get the deal over the line, with Mudryk able to make his debut against Liverpool on Saturday.
