CHELSEA have stepped up their pursuit of Ukrainian wonderkid Mykhailo Mudryk with Shakhtar Donetsk director seen in Todd Boehly’s plush personal box.

Shakhtar director, Darijo Srna, is in London to discuss the future of the 22-year-old with both Chelsea and Arsenal interested.

Arsenal have already seeing an offer worth £62million knocked back.

Srna also had dinner with former Shakhtar and Arsenal players Willian and Eduardo, before heading to Chelsea vs Manchester City.

But at Stamford Bridge, Srna was sitting in Blues owner Boehly‘s personal box for the Premier League clash.

Chelsea are attempting to hijack Arsenal’s move for Mudryk with Boehly willing to back boss Graham Potter in the transfer market this month.

However, Mudryk has been keeping a watchful eye on Arsenal in particular.

The Ukraine wonderkid watched on an iPad as Mikel Arteta’s men brushed West Ham aside on Boxing Day with a 3-1 win.

Ahead of Arsenal’s New Year’s Eve clash with Brighton, Mudryk expressed his admiration for Arteta and his former Shakhtar boss Roberto De Zerbi, who is now in charge on the South Coast.

De Zerbi then tipped Mudryk as a potential future Ballon d’Or winner.

And in his latest social media antics, Mudryk liked a mocked up post of him behind bars with the caption calling for him to be freed.

But it appears he has now unliked the post.
