The latest development in the Mykhaylo Mudryk transfer saga has been written and it will likely result in Arsenal drawing up a shortlist of alternatives to the 22-year-old. According to multiple reports, Chelsea have reached an agreement with Shakhtar Donetsk for Mudryk which will see the Blues pay a £62million fee up front with a further £26million available in add-ons.
A third bid from Arsenal believed to be in the region of £75-80million was being heavily considered by Shakhtar, although there were a few details to iron out, with technical director Edu heading to Warsaw in an attempt to finalise the move.
Chelsea, however, have now swooped in and completed a major hijack on the Gunners, with the winger now open to joining the Blues, set to sign a seven-year contract and travelling to London for his medical, as revealed by The Athletic.
