Chelsea supporters will be glad to know that Mykhaylo Mudryk has already achieved one of the toughest accomplishments in recent years. The 22-year-old was heavily linked with a move to Arsenal at the start of month but the Blues have swooped in and hijacked the deal.
Mudryk has featured 18 times for Shakhtar Donetsk this season, directly contributing towards 18 goals. Particularly, his impressive performances in the Champions League against the likes of Celtic, RB Leipzig and Real Madrid attracted significant interest in his services.
Despite not finding the net against the latter of the three clubs, the Santiago Bernabeu home support were in awe of the Ukraine international's display for a second year in a row. When Mudryk was replaced by Manor Solomon as the Spanish giants beat Shakhtar 2-1 in in 2021, Real Madrid fans rose to their feet and gave the youngster a standing ovation.
