Chelsea look set to hijack Arsenal's pursuit of Mykhailo Mudryk after agreeing a €100 million deal with Shakhtar Donetsk for the winger, sources have told ESPN.
The bid comprises a fixed fee of €70m with a further €30m in add-ons, matching the Ukrainian club's valuation for the transfer of the 21-year-old.

ESPN reported on Friday that Arsenal had made a third offer for Mudryk but that Chelsea were still expected to table a bid of their own despite signing Joao Felix on loan from Atletico Madrid until the end of the season.
