Chelsea have confirmed the signing of Shakhtar Donetsk forward Mykhaylo Mudryk for a fee in the region of £88million including add-ons. The 22-year-old was heavily lined with a move to Arsenal over the past six months but will wear the colours of Chelsea blue.
Mudryk arrives on an eight-and-a-half year contract after Chelsea and Shakhtar agreed on a deal that will see an initial £62million paid followed by £26million in add-ons. The Ukrainian joins Joao Felix, Andrey Santos, Benoit Badiashile and David Datro Fofana through the door this month.
"I'm so happy to sign for Chelsea," the winger said. "This is a huge club, in a fantastic league and it is a very attractive project for me at this stage of my career. I'm excited to meet my new team-mates and I'm looking forward to working and learning under Graham Potter and his staff."
