Mykhaylo Mudryk reportedly has his heart set on signing for Arsenal, despite interest from Chelsea.
The 21-year-old Ukrainian winger is Mikel Arteta 's top target for the January transfer window, with the Gunners recently submitting a second bid after seeing their first offer worth £55million turned down. But London rivals Chelsea also admire Mudryk, who emerged as one of Europe's most exciting young players earlier this season thanks to his electric performances in the Champions League.
As Arsenal hold further talks with Shakhtar Donetsk, the Blues are plotting to hijack the deal. It's claimed that Chelsea chairman Todd Boehly is prepared to gazump the Gunners and better their fresh bid with an improved offer closer to Shakhtar's £85m asking price.
