Pochettino promises Chelsea fans Mudryk will come good

Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino calls for calm from fans, as he has assured them that Mhykailo Mudryk will turn out to be a success for the Blues.

Chelsea signed Mudryk last season for a reported €70 million, but he has struggled to justify the price tag.

He has only started eight league games this season, including Chelsea’s latest game, the 2-1 defeat to Chelsea, in which he came off the bench to put up a good performance.

 Speaking after the game, the Argentine manager explained that Mudryk needed time and that he is confident the Ukraine international will become a difference-maker for the West London side.

“Trust me, Mudryk’s going to be a very important player. Give him some time,” Pochettino said, per Fabrizio Romano.

“He’s already an important player,  but he’s going to improve a lot because the potential is massive. We are happy with him and his development.”

Meanwhile, ex-West Ham and Newcastle goalkeeper Shaka Hislop has advised Napoli striker Victor Osimhen on the best decision for his future.

Osimhen has been linked with a move to Chelsea in the January transfer window after a turbulent start to the season with Napoli.

However, former West Ham goalie Hislop believes Osimhen should push for bigger moves instead of settling for Chelsea.
