According to information provided to Sky Sports News, Mudryk was en route to west London on Saturday for a medical.

The 22-year-old has reportedly been offered a seven-and-a half-year contract by Chelsea, who are reportedly confident of securing the transfer.

A deal was "very close," according to a statement from Shakhtar on Saturday night.

Following that, Chelsea released a statement confirming they were "discussing terms" regarding a transfer fee with Shakhtar.

If a deal is reached between the two clubs, the Ukrainian international, who can play as a forward or a winger, will talk about personal terms with the Blues before a permanent transfer, according to Chelsea.

Arsenal remained in talks as recently as Friday but were prepared to walk away from the transfer if the deal was not right.
