Chelsea manager Graham Potter did not accept the signing of Shakhtar Donetsk star Mykhailo Mudryk to join his squads at Stamford Bridge, according to Arsenal legend Paul Merson.
Meanwhile, in the January transfer window, Chelsea owner Todd Boehly signed Mudryk from Shakhtar Donetsk for £88 million.
Despite an encouraging debut against Liverpool, the Ukraine international has yet to establish himself as a regular starter for Potter’s side.
Against Tottenham last weekend, with Chelsea losing 2-0, Mudryk only came on for the last seven minutes of the game.
Merson has now stated that if Potter had approved Mudryk’s signing, he would have started him.
He told Sky Sports:
“At Tottenham, Chelsea did not look like scoring a goal in a year of Sundays.
“Mudryk is an £88 million signing who is sitting on the bench. It indicates that he is not a Potter player.
“If he had been his player and Potter had gone to the board and said he needed Mudryk, he would have had to play him.”
Does this imply that Mykhailo Mudryk is not living up to Chelsea manager Graham Potter’s expectations, as described by Paul Merson?
Chelsea fans, what do you think of Paul Merson’s explanation that Graham Potter did not want Mykhailo Mudryk to join the Blues at Stamford Bridge?
