This is what one might ironically think of Mykhailo Mudryk. The young Chelsea winger has finally opened his account in the Premier League.
Is Mauricio Pochettino too tender with Mykhailo Mudryk ? One might think so as the Ukrainian winger’s first goal in the Premier League, scored on Monday evening during Fulham-Chelsea (0-2)comes eight months after the 22-year-old arrived in London.
“ Like everyone, young players need to feel that they belong to this club. It’s all about giving them time and also finding the right people who can help them“, explained the Argentine coach, Monday evening after the victory of the Blues, the first in the English Championship since… August 25, against Luton Town (3-0).
Despite his counter finally being opened, and the words of Pochettino, Mykhailo Mudryk still has to bear the label of a young player bought for more than 100 million euros by Chelsea last January from Shakhtar Donetsk.
Against Fulham, Mudryk’s happiness did not last long. He was forced to leave his place at the break for an injury that the Blues staff do not hope is serious.
