Former footballer Stan Collymore has told CaughtOffside that Shakhtar Donetsk winger Mykhaylo Mudryk would be better off joining Chelsea over Arsenal.
The 21-year-old has been recently linked with a move to Stamford Bridge, as the Blues consider pipping their rivals to a move.
Mudryk’s social media activity certainly points towards him favouring a move to the league leaders.
However, the price the Ukranian side are holding out for has so far been a stumbling block over bringing him to England.
With Todd Boehly not afraid to spend big in order to get the players Chelsea want, the Blues are certainly not out of the question to complete the signing of the winger.
Collymore has claimed that Mudryk would have a better future if he committed to a future at Chelsea ahead of their London rivals.
Mudryk urged to join Chelsea
He said: “I know some fans will argue that considering where both clubs are at the minute, if he were to choose the Blues over the Gunners, it’ll only be for the money.
“And that may well be true, but for me, Chelsea is still the more attractive project. If [Todd] Boehly can sell Chelsea’s future to Mudryk then that’s the more alluring option.
“If I had the choice, I’d choose Chelsea over Arsenal and that’s not me dismissing the good work Mikel Arteta and Arsenal are doing, but I just think over a three or four-year period, the Blues are the better project and the club more likely to consistently compete for silverware.
“So all that being considered, I wouldn’t be surprised if Mudryk ended up at Stamford Bridge.”
The Blues are reportedly interested in a number of options to play on the wing after Raheem Sterling and Christian Pulisic were added to the treatment table.
Links today have claimed that Chelsea are interested in a move for England U21 winger Noni Madueke.
