Oleksandr Usyk believes Chelsea's mega-money signing Mykhaylo Mudryk will win the Ballon d'Or before the end of his career.
Mudryk was linked with moves to Arsenal and Chelsea in the January transfer window while at Shakthar Donestk, but after a tug-of-war between the London clubs he snubbed the Gunners for the Blues. The Ukrainian star was picked up for a sizeable £88million after add-ons but has failed to light up the pitch at Stamford Bridge yet despite showing glimpses of his talent in appearances against Liverpool and Leicester.
The 22-year-old came in further criticism for his quiet performance against England in Ukraine national colours during their 2-0 defeat at Wembley Stadium in a Euro 2024 qualifier at the weekend. However fellow countryman and undefeated fighter Usyk, believes critics are jumping the gun when dismissing his talent due to his price tag.
