Chelsea have unveiled the signing of Ukrainian winger Mykhaylo Mudryk from Shakhtar Donetsk at Stamford Bridge during Sunday's clash with Crystal Palace. The 22-year-old joins on an eight-and-a-half-year contract in a transfer that's said to be worth up to €100million (£88million).
The signing of Mudryk takes the Blues' total January transfer business to five additions, having already acquired David Datro Fofana, Andrey Santos and Benoit Badishile as well as Joao Felix on loan. The Ukraine international seemed unlikely to move to west London until the past 24 hours though.
Instead, a move appeared close to north London as rivals Arsenal courted a switch for the pacey wideman since the end of the previous summer transfer window. Mudryk himself had even openly admitted that he would like a switch to the Emirates Stadium over months of social media hints and interviews.
