Reece James and Noni Madueke are among several Chelsea stars who have publicly sent Mykhailo Mudryk messages of support following an impressive debut against Liverpool. The 22-year-old winger was heavily linked with a move to Arsenal at the start of month, only for the Blues to swoop in and hijack the deal.
Mudryk appeared off the bench in the second half of the west Londoners' goalless draw at Anfield and, despite a small sample size, he looks to fit Graham Potter's system like a glove. Despite not having featured in a competitive clash since November for Shakhtar Donetsk, the Ukraine international looked the sharpest player on the pitch.
He injected intensity to the Chelsea side and proved to be a constant threat, forcing Jurgen Klopp to replace the yellow-carded James Milner for Trent Alexander-Arnold. After the game, Mudryk posted a message on Instagram declaring his delight at making his Blues debut.
