Shakhtar Donetsk have confirmed that Chelsea are close to agreeing a transfer for Mykhaylo Mudryk after a meeting between Blues co-owner Behdad Eghbali and Shakhtar president Rinat Akhmetov.
Arsenal looked to be on the verge of signing Mudryk, but as revealed by Fabrizio Romano, Chelsea swooped in for the 22-year-old and now look set to agree a deal with the Ukrainian club.
The public valuation from Shakhtar appears to have been met by Chelsea, who will pay a £62million fee up front with a further £26million available in add-ons.
