Shakhtar Donetsk players bid farewell to Mudryk with guard of honour

Shakhtar Donetsk players have bid farewell to Mykhaylo Mudryk as he prepares to join Chelsea.

Mudryk was present during Shaktar's training session in Turkey on Saturday and the club appeared to give him a farewell.

The winger looked to be in a good mood as he was given a guard of honour by team-mates and staff members.

He was then presented with a trophy by manager Igor Jovicevic for winning the Shaktar Player of The Year award.

Shakhtar, on their English Twitter page, posted: "FC Shakhtar president Rinat Akhmetov and Chelsea co-owner Behdad Eghbali discussed Mykhailo Mudryk's transfer to Chelsea FC today.

"Parties are very close to agree(ing) on player's transfer to the club."
