The
Blues
are
widely
reported
to
have
seen
an
£88.5million
(€100m)
bid
accepted
by
the
Ukrainian
side
for
the
winger,
seemingly
leapfrogging
London
rivals
Arsenal
to
the
front
of
the
queue.
Mikel
Arteta’s
side
were
said
to
have
made
progress
towards
a
deal
of
their
own
in
recent
days
but
have
been
left
in
the
lurch
following
Chelsea’s
move.
In
a
statement,
Shakhtar
said:
“Shakhtar
president
Rinat
Akhmetov
and
Chelsea
co-owner
Behdad
Eghbali
discussed
Mykhaylo
Mudryk’s
transfer
to
Chelsea
today.
“Parties
are
very
close
to
agreeing
on
the
player’s
transfer
to
the
club.”
Mudryk
previously
expressed
a
desire
to
move
to
Arsenal
and
has
dropped
several
hints
on
social
media
this
month,
with
the
Premier
League
leaders
thought
to
be
his
preferred
destination.
However,
that
prospect
may
now
be
off
the
table
unless
the
Gunners
up
their
offer,
with
Chelsea
firmly
leading
the
chase.
