Former Chelsea icon Florent Malouda has urged Mykhailo Mudryk to follow the example of Real Madrid star Vinicius Jr after a stuttering start to his career at Stamford Bridge. The Ukraine international joined the club from Shakhtar Donetsk in January on a deal that could be worth up to £88.5million.
With the spotlight on the winger after a transfer saga that included a heavily touted switch to rivals Arsenal, Mudryk struggled to hit the ground running. The 22-year-old has one assist to show for his nine Premier League appearances so far as he adjusts to the new surroundings.
The Sun reported last week that in an attempt to help Mudryk settle in London, his family are set to move to the capital city to keep him company. It remains to be seen if those lifestyle changes will aid his efforts on the pitch, but there's still plenty of promise for the forward to fulfil.
