A report from HITC claims that Shakhtar Donetsk are prepared to sell the 21-year-old midfielder at the end of the season and he has a release in excess of £100 million. Clubs like Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea are all keen on signing the player.

The Ukrainian has seven goals and three assists in all competitions and he is versatile enough to operate as the central midfielder, and attacking midfielder, as well as winger.

Meanwhile, Chelsea will need to improve their attacking unit as well. They have looked quite mediocre going forward and they have been overly reliant on Cole Palmer for goals and creativity. It remains to be seen whether they can get a deal done for the Ukrainian international.
