      It is understood Chelsea will pay £62m up front, with up to £35m in performance-related add-ons, taking the potential total to an eye-watering £97m.
      Mudryk, 22, has agreed a seven-and-a-half year contract at Stamford Bridge – despite previously hinting that he wanted to join Arsenal.
      The Gunners agreed personal terms with the winger but pulled out of negotiations when Shakhtar started driving the price higher amid interest from Chelsea.
      Blues officials, including director of global talent and transfers Ben Winstanley, are reported to have travelled to Turkey, where Shakhtar are holding a training camp, to thrash out a deal.

      The arrival of Mudryk will take Chelsea’s spending so far in January to well over £100m.
      Defender Benoit Badiashile arrived from Monaco for £35m, while David Datro Fofana came from Molde for about £10m.
      The Blues have splashed another £10m on a loan fee for Atletico Madrid’s Joao Felix, who was sent off on his debut against Fulham in midweek.
      The new Chelsea regime’s latest splurge on players follows the record-breaking £273m they spent last summer.

      Mudryk is one of the hottest properties in world football after his impressive form for Shakhtar, particularly in the Champions League where he scored three goals and made two assists in six games.
      Chelsea boss Graham Potter is said to have personally driven the deal as he seeks to arrest a slump that has left the team in mid-table and facing a real battle to qualify for the Champions League. More

      The star has been plagued by injury at the Bernabeu which has restricted him to 73 appearances and seven goals.
      Last month he retired from international football following Belgium’s shock group-stage exit at the World Cup in Qatar.
      Then a fresh report emerged that his club career in Europe could be set to come to an end.
      It stated that Ronaldo’s new side, Al-Nassr, are interested in bringing him to Saudi Arabia.

      Manager Rudi Garcia previously worked with Hazard for four years at Lille.
      And now those rumours are intensifying, according to El Chiringuito, as they claim that he met up with Garcia to discuss a possible move.
      They shared a clip of Hazard arriving and then being accompanied into a building which they claimed was “the office of Garcia” where they were believed to have discussed his future.
      They certainly have the funds to bring the Los Blancos man to the Middle East after showing their lucrative wealth by handing Ronaldo, 37, a £173million-a-year deal.

      And the Spanish champions will be keen to scrape back some of the £130m they paid for him before his deal runs out.
