Chelsea Manager Mauricio Pochettino frustrated with Mykhailo Mudryk’s progress
Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino and his coaching staff have been reported to be increasingly frustrated with the progress of 23-year-old attacker Mykhailo Mudryk. With huge expectations following his £88.5 million signing from Shakhtar Donetsk in 2023, Mudryk has not lived up to the hype at Stamford Bridge.
After showing promise with Shakhtar, Mudryk was courted by several elite clubs, with Chelsea eventually signing him. However, his transition to the Premier League has been far from easy. The Ukrainian international has struggled to establish himself as a regular starter, scoring only six goals along with two assists in 33 games this season.
Pochettino and his coaching staff, who came over last summer, are believed to be particularly upset by Mudryk’s lack of presence on the field. The winger was expected to be a vital role in Chelsea’s attacking formation, but he has failed to deliver regularly, leading to the club to explore signing new players for the coming season.
In light of Mudryk’s poor performances, Chelsea are presumably looking into Athletic Club’s Nico Williams as an option to improve their offensive options. Rumors claim that discussions to sign the talented winger are already started.
With speculation over Mudryk’s future at Chelsea growing, questions remain about whether he can turn things around and justify the considerable investment put in him. As the club looks for potential new signings, Mudryk is under increasing pressure to prove himself and save his Chelsea career.
