Chelsea is preparing a rival bid for Arsenal target Mykhailo Mudryk as the Gunners close in on the Ukrainian talent.
Mudryk has turned the heads of European clubs this season with his performance for Shakhtar Donestk and Arsenal is reportedly looking to buy him for 70m euros, a fee that Shakhtar still wants to negotiate up.
The Ukrainians know he is a top talent and wants to make the most money from his departure when he eventually leaves, and Chelsea could make life hard for Arsenal.
Matchplug understands that the Blues consider him the ideal winger for their team and could begin talks with his present employer over leaving them as they try to outbid Arsenal to sign him.
Mikel Arteta’s side will not want to lose out on him and could increase their bid for his signature to make him join them instead.
