The winter transfer window of 2023 was a whirlwind. Mykhailo Mudryk, the 22-year-old Ukrainian winger, was the hottest prospect in Europe. His blistering pace, deft dribbling, and flair at Shakhtar had scouts buzzing.

Arsenal, under Mikel Arteta, had been tracking him for months, their project clear: a young, hungry squad being molded into title contenders. Their vision was meticulous, their style of play dynamic, built around players like Martin Ødegaard and Bukayo Saka, who could complement Mudryk’s explosiveness. Arteta himself had called, outlining a role where Mudryk would be a cornerstone of their attack.

Then came Chelsea. Fresh off a spending spree under new ownership, they swooped in with a £88.5 million bid, outmuscling Arsenal’s offer. Their pitch was different: immediate stardom, a hefty wage packet, and the allure of a club with a storied history.

Mudryk, swayed by the glamour and the promise of quick success, signed for Chelsea. Arsenal, unable to match the financial muscle, moved on, signing Leandro Trossard instead. The choice felt right at the time, but Mudryk will always look back and regret choosing Chelsea over Arsenal

Chelsea want BOTH Xavi Simons and Alejandro Garnacho. They're two separate topics and it's not either one or the other, BOTH are wanted.
