Stan Collymore has told CaughtOffSide that Mykhailo Mudryk should snub a move to Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal and join Graham Potter’s Chelsea instead.
The former Liverpool striker believes that Chelsea’s project is more alluring than Arsenal’s.
Mudryk has been strongly linked with Premier League rivals Arsenal and Chelsea.
The Sun have reported that Arsenal and Chelsea are competing with each other for the services of the 22-year-old winger, adding that his club Shakhtar Donetsk want £88 million in transfer fees for him.
The Athletic’s David Ornstein has also on NBC Sports that Arsenal and Chelsea want to sign the youngster.
According to SportArena, Arsenal are close to completing the signing of the winger.
Mykhailo Mudryk urged to snub Arsenal for Chelsea
Collymore wrote: “If you believe all the reports surrounding Shakhtar Donetsk’s Mykhailo Mudryk, he has a choice between moving to Arsenal and Chelsea.
“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 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.”
Gunners or Blues?
Both Arsenal and Chelsea are big clubs and global brands, but the Gunners could win the Premier League title this season.
Chelsea may not even finish in the Premier League top four.
We think that the winger should move to Arsenal now.
Arsenal have a settled, young and dynamic team, and Mudryk would fit in nicely.
Chelsea could undergo changes, while Arsenal are settled.
