Chelsea are reportedly ready to blow every side out of the water in their pursuit to sign Shakhtar Donetsk star Mykhaylo Mudryk.
Despite strong links with Arsenal recently, the Blues are now rumoured to be after the Shakhtar attacker’s signature.
The Sun claimed last night that Graham Potter’s side could hijack Arsenal’s attempts to sign the 21-year-old winger.
Now, fresh speculation suggests Chelsea could go all out for him.
Chelsea pursuit to sign Mudryk
According to The Independent, Chelsea have made it clear they’re going to trump any bid made for Mudryk.
It is understood that Blues co-owner Todd Boehly is more than prepared to annihilate rival teams in the transfer window where necessary.
The report says Arsenal still believe they can win the race to sign Shakhtar’s highly-rated wide man, but Chelsea feel they can take financial advantage to get the £88million-rated ace.
Described as “unstoppable” by Shakhtar manager Igor Jovicevic, Mudryk is a dazzling forward now firmly in Chelsea’s sights.
In our view, he would be a fantastic addition to the Premier League.
He’s fast, direct and a serious goal threat from the left wing.
The Ukraine international is definitely good enough to improve a Chelsea attack that has massively struggled to score and assist goals so far this season.
However, are the Blues going to be looking to shift on current first-team names to make room for all these high-profile transfer targets.
