Mudryk completes Chelsea medical
Mykhailo Mudryk has now completed his Chelsea medical.A formal announcement is expected soon - possibly in the next hour.
Mudryk previously indicated Premier League leaders Arsenal were his preferred destination in a series of social media posts. Arsenal remained in talks as recently as Friday but were prepared to walk away from the transfer if the deal was not right.
But Chelsea agreed a deal with Shakhtar on Saturday night and the 22-year-old travelled to west London to complete a medical before signing a seven-and-a-half-year deal.
Mudryk will become Chelsea's fifth signing of the January transfer window, following the arrivals of Joao Felix, Benoit Badiashile, David Datro Fofana and Andrey Santos.
