Former Chelsea winger Willian has offered his verdict on Mykhailo Mudryk's transfer to Stamford Bridge ahead of his return to SW6 on Friday night. The current Fulham man scored against his previous employers as the two sides met at Craven Cottage last month but plenty has changed since then.
It was in the aftermath of the 2-1 defeat that Todd Boehly set about completing the unlikely transfer for Shakhtar Donetsk's winger Mudryk, a deal that was quickly completed just days later. Since then the 22-year-old has been joined by three more new signings.
The defeat to Fulham, who remain above their richer London neighbours despite being newly promoted, appears to have been a turning point for Boehly and Co. After chants of 'we want our Chelsea back' and more cries for Roman Abramovich and Thomas Tuchel, the new owners have set their stalls out.
