Since signing for big money in January, Mykhailo Mudryk's Chelsea career has failed to hit the heights many hoped and anticipated. After being an unused substitute for the Blues' back-to-back wins against Leeds United and Borussia Dortmund, the Ukraine international did return to Graham Potter's starting line-up against Leicester, where he grabbed his first assist for the club.
However, while his own progress may have stagnated as he continues to adapt to the English game, former Liverpool player Dietmar Hamann believes his arrival has benefitted one of his attacking teammates. Kai Havertz has faced heavy criticism this season due to a lack of goals to help arrest his side's struggles.
Often playing as an unorthodox striker, the German was frequently made a scapegoat for Chelsea's barren spell in front of goal. But Hamann believes things have begun to look up for his compatriot as the goalscoring burden is no longer placed solely at Havertz's door.
