When Chelsea hijacked Arsenal’s proposed move for Mykhaylo Mudryk in January, there was a sense that the Blues were getting one of the most exciting youngsters in Europe.
Mudryk, 22, scored an impressive 10 times in 18 matches for Shakhtar Donetsk in the first-half of the campaign. That included goals against RB Leipzig and Celtic in the Champions League, while he also impressed versus Real Madrid. Arsenal looked set to sign Mudryk, until Chelsea pounced and lodged a higher bid to prise the winger to Stamford Bridge instead.
But fast forward four months and it’s safe to say Mudryk hasn’t lived upto his price tag, having failed to score in 11 Premier League appearances so far. He has grabbed two assists, with one of them coming in the Blues’ most recent win at Leicester on March 11..
