Chelsea star Mykhailo Mudryk has revealed that he has shared jokes with Oleksandr Zinchenko following his January transfer to the Premier League.
The winger seemed close to joining Zinchenko at Arsenal throughout the most of the window before Chelsea swooped in to hijack the deal for £88million. The Gunners had been tracking the Ukrainian for several months after first emerging as a potential suitor towards the end of last summer.
After weeks of negotiations with Shakhtar Donetsk, Edu Gaspar could not agree on a final price, allowing Todd Boehly to add Mudryk to his illustrious list of new signings. Since moving to Stamford Bridge, the 22-year-old has assisted only one goal in seven appearances.
