Frank Lampard and Kai Havertz comments prove why Mykhailo Mudryk must be given time at Chelsea

Chelsea signed Mykhailo Mudryk in a whopping £88million deal after hijacking Arsenal's move for the Ukraine international in the January transfer window. The 22-year-old talent has struggled to show why the Blues paid a huge fee to bring him to the club - but he is not the only new signing to find things tough at Stamford Bridge.

Even players that were playing for the Blues prior to Todd Boehly and the Clearlake Capital consortium completing a £4billion takeover have lacked confidence and performed below expectations this season. Chelsea have played under four different managers this term with players struggling to perform on the pitch under each figure in the dugout.

Thomas Tuchel was replaced by Graham Potter in September last year, before the ex-Brighton boss was then sacked with Bruno Saltor taking charge for a single game against Liverpool. This was followed by the arrival of Frank Lampard as caretaker boss until the end of the season - with Chelsea yet to win under the Blues legend.
