Mykhailo Mudryk: Chelsea Agree £88.5m Transfer Deal for Arsenal Target and Shakhtar Donetsk Winger

Chelsea have agreed a deal worth £88.5m with Shakhtar Donetsk for winger Mykhailo Mudryk.

As reported by Sky Sports, Chelsea’s co-owner Behdad Eghbali and director of global transfers Paul Winstanley flew into Antalya in Turkey – where Shakhtar are training – on Saturday to complete the deal before taking Mudryk back to the UK with them on their private jet.

Mudryk will undergo his medical in London on Sunday and is expected to be at Stamford Bridge to watch Chelsea play Crystal Palace.

Chelsea are confident of securing the transfer and have offered the 22-year-old a seven-and-a-half-year contract.

Arsenal remained in talks as recently as Friday but were prepared to walk away from the transfer if the deal was not right.

Chelsea will pay €70m (£62m) up front and €30m (£26.5m) in add-ons, which include winning the Champions League, Premier League and other individual performance-related conditions

A statement from Shakhtar on Saturday night confirmed a deal was “very close”.
