Chelsea still believe that Mykhailo Mudryk will become a superstar at the club.

According to a report in Football London, Chelsea scouts are certain that Mudryk has so much potential that he will one day be able to win the Ballon d’Or.

This supports the words of Mudryk’s former Shakhtar Donetsk manager Roberto De Zerbi, who said the same thing earlier this year.

“Mykhailo has the potential for a top career,” De Zerbi said back in January.

“In my opinion, he can also win the Ballon d’Or. He is a player of the highest level but he is also very sensitive. He needs affection. We will see if he matches his potential.”

Chelsea remain confident that Mudryk will be a success at Stamford Bridge despite a very difficult start to his career there.

Mudryk form at Chelsea

The wideman joined Chelsea for €100 million in January after the Blues hijacked Arsenal's deal for the Ukrainian winger.

However, Mudryk has flopped badly at Stamford Bridge.

He has managed just one goal and two assists in 24 appearances amidst a string of poor performances.

Mudryk’s poor form resulted in him dropping down the attacking pecking order.

However, he finally scored his first goal for Chelsea last week in the 2-0 win at Fulham.

He also came on as a substitute last Saturday as Chelsea made it three wins in a row in all competitions by beating Burnley 4-1.

During this international break, Mudryk was lively as Ukraine won 2-0 against North Macedonia in the Euro 2024 qualification.
