Chelsea Transfer News:
Stan Collymore claimed that Mykhaylo Mudryk is more likely to compete for trophies at Chelsea than at Arsenal.

Despite the fact that the Gunners are comfortably atop the Premier League, former striker Collymore believes the long-term plan at Stamford Bridge is “better.”
He told 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.”
