Arsenal Newsnow: Chelsea is on the offensive for the Arsenal target, Mykhaylo Mudryk. The Blues may be set to pull a similar stunt, only a week after former Chelsea star Willian reversed the hands of time to shock his former employers by scoring for Fulham in the West London rivalry. Spurs were already in the process of scheduling a medical examination for the Brazilian. Chelsea made them an offer they couldn’t refuse.
Chelsea’s acquisition of Willian was eerily identical to when they acquired Oscar from Real Madrid: the selling club on both occasions was Shakhtar Donetsk. Mykhaylo Mudryk of the Ukrainian team is the centre of attention in January of 2023. He has been Arsenal’s top transfer target since the summer. But his agent, Darijo Srna, is being difficult about his asking price.
Fabrizio Romano writes that the Blues have despatched agents to Poland. They are in an attempt to strike a verbal deal for roughly €100m (£88m) for the player. Football.london has confirmed that the club is interested in capitalizing on Arsenal’s sluggish development if the opportunity presents itself.
Arsenal Newsnow: Mykhaylo Mudryk rejecting Arsenal to move to Chelsea?
It has been reported by Romano that the footballer would undergo his Chelsea medical on Saturday evening after flying to the UK. Mykhaylo Mudryk is expected to leave for London within the next few hours. According to reports, he will be in the UK tonight to talk over the specifics and get the #CFC’s medical staff ready.
Understand Mykhaylo Mudryk is now on a plane flying to London. His future enters into key, final stages as Chelsea have offered contract valid until June 2030. 🚨🔵✈️ #CFC

After reaching an all-inclusive €100 million price agreement, Chelsea is now working to get the personal aspects of the contract finalized. Arsenal has been optimistic that they can sign Mudryk for £80 million.
Chelsea, though, has shown no signs of giving up on their pursuit of the 22-year-old Ukraine international. They are still hoping to thwart Arsenal’s transfer attempt. Mudryk has made his intentions to join Arsenal quite plain, but that hasn’t deterred his west London suitors.
With just one victory in their past nine Premier League games, Chelsea is now tenth in the league. They will visit Crystal Palace on Sunday. Graham Potter’s job is in jeopardy after Thursday’s 2-1 loss to Fulham.
Potter will be playing without 11 players due to suspension and injury. But, he still has strong support from the team’s fans and management. Noni Madueke, a winger for PSV Eindhoven, is wanted by Chelsea. The Blues are in discussions to acquire him. They’ve already brought in Benoît Badiashile, David Datro Fofana, and Andrey Santos this window, and they’ve now signed Joo Félix on loan.
Chelsea is interested in Borussia Mönchengladbach attacker Marcus Thuram, who is out of contract in the summer. They have also reportedly looked at Benfica’s Enzo Fernández and Brighton’s Alexis Mac Allister and Moisés Caicedo.
