Mykhailo Mudryk is the Ukrainian international who Chelsea signed from Shakhtar Donetsk in an £89 million deal last January. Since then, the winger has seen limited success in the Premier League, failing to score in any of his 20 appearances for the club.
The 22-year-old has recently been putting in extra effort to make an impression on manager Mauricio Pochettino and has been seen performing extra training in the gym with personal trainer Dima Chapovsky. It's almost as if Mudryk is in the gym every hour of the day, says a source.
Pochettino has been understanding of the winger's difficulties, noting the cultural differences between Latin people and Ukrainians as a potential source of his lack of success so far. The Argentine has backed Mudryk to continue trying to integrate and understand the team better.
With Chelsea struggling for form and several players injured, Mudryk looks set to make his fourth consecutive start when the Blues travel to Craven Cottage to face Fulham on Monday evening. The west London club have not won in the Premier League since August 25th, and are currently 15th in the table. It's up to Mudryk to use this opportunity to revive his Chelsea career and help the team come out of their current rut.
