Arsenal to miss out on Shakhtar Donetsk winger Mykhailo Mudryk to Chelsea
In our view, Arsenal are not going to be able to sign Mykhailo Mudryk ahead of Chelsea now.
Since Shakhtar have now released a statement, it is clear that they must be very close to getting a deal done with the former Premier League and UEFA Champions League winners.
And that Mudryk is flying to England to have his medical suggests that he has accepted that he will become a Chelsea player.
