Frank Lampard finally gets Mykhaylo Mudryk wish at Chelsea after failed £26m transfer

Frank Lampard's Everton tried to sign Mykhaylo Mudryk last summer.

Lampard, who was sacked as Everton boss three months ago, was reappointed by Chelsea on Thursday. The ex-midfielder has agreed a short-term deal as their caretaker manager until the end of the season, when club chair Todd Boehly will revaluate their tricky situation. The Blues are 11th in the Premier League and could fail to qualify for Europe.

If Lampard is to salvage anything from Chelsea's season, he will need to get the best out of Mudryk. Lampard spotted the Ukrainian talent during his time in charge of Everton and submitted a €30million (£26m) offer, but it was rebuffed by Shakhtar Donetsk.
