Chelsea are reportedly considering hijacking Arsenal’s move for Mudryk amid Todd Boehly’s plan to transform Graham Potter’s side.

According to The Guardian, the Blues are keen on snatching the winger from the Gunners’ grasp after registering an interest in the 21-year-old. The report states that Chelsea could now pose a serious threat to Mikel Arteta’s plans to acquire the winger’s services.

Arsenal have been told that Shakhtar Donetsk are willing to sell Mykhaylo Mudryk if a bid arrives that matches the Ukrainian clubs value of their star asset.

The Gunners saw a £55million bid including add-ons for Mudryk rejected, infoexpert24 understands, however, they are expected to return with a higher offer for the 21-year-old.

Edu and Mikel Arteta are likely planning their next move for Mudryk and while Shakhtar’s stance on selling the winger has remainder firm, CEO Serhii Palkin has given Arsenal a fresh boost that a deal can be agreed in January.

Palkin told Shakhtar’s website: “Negotiations are continuing. We receive offers, but they are not the ones we would like to see on our table. We are open to negotiations, ready to exchange ideas and figures. If we will agree, then let it be so. If we will not, then let it be another time.”
