The London "Chelsea" intensified its attempts to intercept the Ukrainian midfielder Mykhailo Mudryk from "Arsenal".
Chelsea bosses will hold talks with representatives of Shakhtar Donetsk regarding the winger's transfer on Wednesday, January 4.
Arsenal are leading the race for Mudric after making a second bid of £44.2m plus bonuses.
However, "Chelsea" is also interested in the Ukrainian footballer, so negotiations with the director of "Shakhtar" Dario Srna should continue in London.
It is not yet known whether Chelsea will be attractive for Mudryk. Mykhailo seems to prefer Arsenal more. However, "Shakhtar" insists on a price of 85 million pounds, and "Arsenal" is not ready to pay so much. Chelsea could step in by offering more money to the miners.
In the current season, Mudryk played 18 matches and scored 10 goals for Shakhtar (12 games and 7 goals in the Premier League, 6 matches and 3 goals in the Champions League).
