Former Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard gave a brutal assessment on Chelsea star Mykhailo Mudryk after his performance for Ukraine against England in European Championship qualifiers on Sunday afternoon. The winger is yet to pick up any momentum since joining the Blues for £88.5million in the January transfer window.
The saga was an extraordinary one after Mudryk dropped hints on a switch to Arsenal for months, only to join the Blues from Shakhtar Donetsk instead. After a period without playing, the Ukraine international was put straight into action in some difficult circumstances to regain fitness.
The 22-year-old has since worked his way back into the side and grabbed his first goal contribution with an assist for Mateo Kovacic against Leicester. It was a much-needed return for a player that has plenty of potential, but who still has to win some over while he is given time to grow.
