Mauricio Pochettino's stance on Mykhaylo Mudryk and Raheem Sterling amid Chelsea woes

Mauricio Pochettino will need to make some big decisions in his early days as Chelsea manager, with the likelihood of having to choose between Raheem Sterling and Mykhaylo Mudryk for his long-term project.

Both players were signed as part of a remarkable £600m+ spending spree this season, with neither having quite performed to the level expected of their huge price tags. However, Sterling has begun to show some of his best form in recent weeks, with a brace coming from the left-wing against Nottingham Forest in a 2-2 draw last weekend.

Mudryk, meanwhile, joined the club in an £87.5 million deal in January and is yet to score a goal while only managing to play 571 Premier League minutes. He is primarily a left-winger, meaning that next season the likelihood will be that he will have to fight for his place against established international and Premier League winner Sterling.
