Yes it seemed a very muted unveiling, not the kind of fanfare that would usually be associated with a signing of this size. I have little doubt that he reluctantly accepted their offer on the basis of more favourable terms to his wage and to Shakthar. I reckon a bit of spite involved too with Shakthar, that Arsenal's offer (as strong as it was) didn't meet their demands, plus Chelsea have offered their president a friendly in Donetsk when its safe to do so. Mudryk's agents also get a better commission package. He was clearly set on Arsenal from that interview with Zinchenko's wife a few months ago.
