CHRIS BURTON FROM GOAL.
The Ukraine international winger has been acquired by the Blues in a big-money deal from Shakhtar Donetsk on an eight-and-a-half-year contract. The 22-year-old is still being eased into life at Stamford Bridge, having been without competitive game time since November 23, but it will not take long for his potential to be unleashed on Premier League opposition.
WHAT THEY SAID: Quizzed on whether Mudryk could be handed his Chelsea bow at Anfield on Saturday, Blues boss Potter told reporters: “He hasn’t played so much football recently but has been training well. We’ll see how much he can play. There’s a chance [to make his debut]. 90 minutes, no. But probably a role.”
“We’ve got to help everybody understand that he is coming from a different league and has to adapt. He is a young player that has a lot of potential but has had good experiences already. He is an exciting player. He’s very happy to be here. He is looking forward to his career here and looking forward to get started.”
