London's Arsenal are ready to buy Shakhtar winger Mykhaylo Mudryk, but cannot yet agree with the Ukrainian club on the transfer price of the player. "Shakhtar" demands from the "Canaries" 85 million pounds, and Arsenal offers 62 million with a number of bonuses.

In such a situation, Chelsea are ready to join the race and intercept the player. Italian insider Fabrizio Romano writes about it: "Chelsea are interested in Mudrick - they are discussing the "ideal winger" and that he could fit their project, but have not yet made formal offers to Shakhtar.

This information should speed up the negotiations between Arsenal and Shakhtar, as Chelsea have more than once intercepted players from the Canaries in similar circumstances. Although Mykhailo Mudryk himself wants to play at Arsenal, Shakhtar's position is to make the most of his sale. And if Chelsea is willing to pay more than Arsenal for the player, Shakhtar will be inclined to accept the offer of the London-based Blue club.
