In a shocking turn of events, Chelsea has swooped in for a €100 million ($108.4 million) deal to sign Shakhtar Donetsk winger Mykhailo Mudryk, The Athletic’s David Ornstein confirmed.
The blockbuster move for Chelsea comes after fellow London-based club Arsenal had long been anticipated to be the frontrunner to land Mudryk. ESPN reported on Friday that the Premier League leaders had made a third offer for Mudryk but that Chelsea was still expected to make a play for the Ukrainian winger, even after signing João Félix on loan from Atlético Madrid.
