Chelsea players were left ‘surprised’ by Todd Boehly’s decision to introduce Mykhailo Mudryk and his entourage inside the dressing room before a Premier League game this season. The Blues completed an £88million transfer hijack to sign Mudryk ahead of London rivals Arsenal in January.
The Ukraine international was officially unveiled at Stamford Bridge during the half-time break in Chelsea’s match against Crystal Palace on January 15. Mudryk has had a difficult start to life in west London and found himself playing a rotation role as opposed to being a regular starter.
The 22-year-old has provided two assists in 12 appearances for the Blues so far during a tough second half of the season for Chelsea. The west London outfit have been dumped out of the Champions League and sit 11th in the Premier League after sacking Graham Potter and replacing him with Frank Lampard until the end of the season.
