Chelsea signed Ukrainian winger, Mykhailo Mudryk, from Shakhtar Donetsk on a transfer fee of €70 m. The Blues beat Arsenal in this transfer saga. The Gunners were also interested in the Ukrainian winger. During that time, everyone thought that he would be a massive signing for the Blues.
After coming to Stamford Bridge, he made his debut against Liverpool. Surprisingly, he shined in that game, and some Chelsea fans were comparing him with club hero ‘Eden Hazard’. As the season progressed, we were seeing the true standards of the Ukrainian winger.
Mudryk was struggling to perform for the Blues. From Graham Potter, Pochettino, to Enzo Maresca, none of the managers were able to improve his performance. Still, Mudryk is struggling with his decision-making abilities.
When Graham Potter was appointed as the new Chelsea manager, the Blues bought some seriously talented players, which include Mykhailo Mudryk, Malo Gusto, Enzo Fernandez, Benoit Badiashile, and Noni Madueke. Among all of them, Mykhailo Mudryk is becoming the most unsuccessful signing. According to The Chelsea Chronicle, Chelsea owners might sell him by the upcoming New Year.
Mudryk’s career so far
Since childhood, Mykhailo Mudryk has been a football lover. From being a football freestyler to playing for Shakhtar Donetsk, Mudryk’s football career started from there. After playing a few years for the junior team, Roberto De Zerbi discovered his talent. Soon he was included in the first eleven of Shakhtar.
Roberto De Zerbi turned him into a lethal left winger who can traumatize any team. He delivered masterclass performances in the UEFA Champions League. Mudryk frightened the entire backline of a team like Real Madrid. All the Chelsea fans want to see this type of performance from Mykhailo Mudryk.
Before coming to Chelsea, Mudryk was tearing up the UEFA Champions League with Shakhtar. In a Champions League match against Real Madrid, he also achieved the man of the match award. After that season, some big clubs were trying to sign him. Chelsea were among them. The Blues bought him for €70m.
Current situation for Mudryk
Recently, Chelsea have bought Jadon Sancho on loan. He made his debut against Bournemouth, and it turned out to be a fantastic one for him. In this match, Jadon Sancho bagged one assist, which helped him to get the man of the match award. On top of that, the English winger brought a goalscoring threat.
Surprisingly, Sancho also plays in the left-wing position, just like Mudryk. After his recent performance, we believe that Enzo Maresca will start him in every single match. It can be said that Mykhailo Mudryk has fallen down in the pecking order.
Enzo Maresca might give him some chance at the European Conference League. If the Ukrainian winger wants to enter the first eleven, he should utilize all the upcoming opportunities in the UEFA conference league.
Future of Chelsea
Till now, we haven’t seen the best from Mudryk. There are few glimpses of his potential. If Mudryk gets chances in the upcoming matches, he should take those opportunities with both hands. If he fails to do so, there are other players who might take up his spot. At this moment, Mudryk is competing with Sanco for the left-wing position. These types of competitions are pretty much important because they help to improve the players.
New Chelsea manager, Enzo Maresca, said that he will be helping Mudryk to improve his game. He also added that the Ukrainian should work on his final-third decision-making abilities. At this moment, all the Chelsea players are playing at a certain level except Mudryk. This thing has to be changed. So, he is on the verge of losing his spot from the first eleven.
