Chelsea are reportedly aiming to hijack Arsenal's move for Shakhtar Donetsk star Mykhailo Mudryk.
The Gunners have reportedly been the front-runners for the Ukrainian winger and also made their first offer £55million earlier this week.
However, the Ukrainian giants have seemingly rejected the bid as the club are holding out for a reported £85million in the January transfer window.
The Guardian have now reported that Chelsea are looking to make a move for the 21-year-old, who has bagged 10 goals in 18 appearances across all competitions this season.

It is believed that Mudryk fits the profile of the player Graham Potter is looking for and the Blues now reportedly pose a serious threat to their London rivlas.
Shakhtar CEO Sergei Palkin has revealed that the club has received offers for their talisman ahead of the January transfer window.
"Negotiations are continuing," Palkin said, as per the club's official website.
"We receive offers, but they are not the ones we would like to see on our table.
"We are open to negotiations, ready to exchange ideas and figures.
"If we will agree, then let it be so. If we will not, then let it be another time."
