According to reports, Chelsea's co-owner, Behdad Eghbali, is deeply invested in seeing player Mykhailo Mudryk succeed. Eghbali personally took charge in the signing of the struggling winger, who joined the team from Shakhtar Donetsk for a hefty price tag of £88.5 million back in January of 2023. However, Mudryk has yet to prove his worth, only managing to score seven goals and provide six assists in his 63 appearances for the club.
This season, Mudryk has been struggling to secure playing time in the Premier League and has only been used as a substitute in three out of five games. But he was given a chance to showcase his skills in Tuesday's Carabao Cup match against Barrow AFC, where he contributed to the team's 5-0 victory with his second goal involvement of the season. And according to talkSPORT, no one wants to see Mudryk succeed more than Eghbali himself, who is said to be "desperate" for the Ukrainian player to improve rapidly.
It is clear that Eghbali has a personal interest in Mudryk's development, as he was the one who led the efforts to bring him to Chelsea. However, former Chelsea defender Glen Johnson has expressed his doubts about Mudryk's potential and believes that his time at the club may be coming to an end. In an interview with Betfred, Johnson stated that he has yet to see Mudryk's talent fully shine on the field and questioned whether he has what it takes to succeed in the Premier League.
Johnson also pointed out that there may be reasons why Mudryk has not been trusted by his past managers and that he has not made the most of the opportunities given to him. With such a high price tag, Chelsea will have to make a decision on whether to continue investing in Mudryk or take a potential loss on him. As the club's co-owner, Eghbali will undoubtedly have a say in this decision.
