Each Premier League golf equipment are in talks to land the Ukrainian winger from Shakhtar Donetsk, with a price ticket of £85million positioned on his companies.
Chelsea, who’re on the verge of signing Joao Felix on mortgage, are considered behind Arsenal within the working for Mudryk as he prefers a transfer to north London.
Regardless of the Gunners sitting fairly atop the Premier League, former striker Collymore thinks the long-term undertaking at Stamford Bridge is “better”.
He informed CaughtOffside: “I know some fans will argue that considering where both clubs are at the minute, if he were to choose the Blues over the Gunners, it’ll only be for the money.
“And that may well be true, but for me, Chelsea is still the more attractive project. If [Todd] Boehly can sell Chelsea’s future to Mudryk then that’s the more alluring option.
“If I had the choice, I’d choose Chelsea over Arsenal and that’s not me dismissing the good work Mikel Arteta and Arsenal are doing, but I just think over a three or four-year period, the Blues are the better project and the club more likely to consistently compete for silverware.
“So all that being considered, I wouldn’t be surprised if Mudryk ended up at Stamford Bridge.”
