Chelsea Looking To Hijack Arsenal's Move For 22-Year-Old Attacker

 

Chelsea are reportedly looking to hijack Arsenal's deal for Shakhtar Donetsk winger Mykhailo Mudryk (via The Guardian).

Mudryk has been in dazzling form for his club side this season. The 22-year-old has scored 10 goals and provided eight assists in 18 games across competitions this season.

The Gunners are interested in pursuing the Ukrainian, who was linked with Brentford last summer.

Shakhtar, however, are holding out for a fee of £85 million and have rejected Arsenal's initial offer of €60 million.

While the player is a keen admirer of Mikel Arteta's team, the Blues have also turned their attention to Mudryk.

Chelsea have made attacking reinforcements one of their main aims in the transfer market.

David Datro Fofana has already arrived from Molde FK. Apart from Fofana, Christopher Nkunku is also set to arrive at the club from RB Leipzig next summer.

Graham Potter's side are also interested in Benfica midfielder Enzo Fernandez. However, signing Fernandez might be too costly a deal for the west London side during January, as he could cost around €120 million.

Chelsea can turn their attention to Mudryk if the Fernandez deal doesn't follow through.
