Chelsea have completed the signing of Mykhailo Mudryk from Shakhtar Donetsk.
The Ukraine international has signed an eight-and-a-half-year deal, with the Blues paying Shakhtar a reported €70 million (£62 million) – possibly rising to €100 million (£88m).
The 22-year-old was in attendance for Chelsea’s game against Crystal Palace at Stamford Bridge on Sunday.
“I’m so happy to sign for Chelsea,” Mudryk told the club’s website.

Mudryk had looked poised to sign for London rivals Arsenal before a last-minute intervention from recruitment head Paul Winstanley and co-owner Behdad Eghbali on Saturday, with the pair flying to Turkey to negotiate the deal.
