According to reports, Chelsea is attempting to steal Mykhaylo Mudryk from Arsenal.
According to rumors, Chelsea representatives have been to Poland in a last-ditch effort to sabotage Arsenal’s planned January acquisition of top target Mykhaylo Mudryk.
Despite the 21-year-wide old’s expectation to join Arsenal over the past few weeks, the Blues have been credited with a significant interest in landing Mudryk during the course of this month.

The Gunners reportedly reached a personal agreement with Mudryk and have been in advanced talks with Shakhtar Donetsk over a transfer fee in the last few weeks. This fee is thought to be in the neighborhood of £75 million.
Chelsea doesn’t appear to be ready to give up the pursuit, though, as they still believe they can sign Mudryk before Arsenal in the near future.
According to Fabrizio Romano, senior Chelsea board members have flown to Poland in an effort to verbally agree with Shakhtar on a deal to steal Mudryk away from Arsenal.
Recall that Chelsea’s performances are being adversely affected by the absence of several of its players. The Blues lost their most recent game, 2-1, against Fulham, and they are presently ranked 10th in the Premier League.
In the 58th minute of the game, their recent acquisition Joao Felix was also dismissed. Prior to being sent for a careless foul, Felix performed exceptionally well in the first half.
