Mykhaylo Mudryk edges closer to Chelsea moves – sources
Mykhaylo Mudryk is edging closer to the exit door at Chelsea, sources have told Football Insider.
Sources say it will be “difficult” for the 23-year-old to turn things around at Stamford Bridge after his struggles with the London club.
In a new twist, Enzo Maresca has dropped a new jibe at the winger’s lack of form at Chelsea.
He said: “I don’t think it’s a lack of confidence. Misha is Misha. You have to accept the way he is. Hopefully he can get minutes and do better.”
Mudryk has been an unused substitute in each of Chelsea’s last two Premier League games, with the likes of Jadon Sancho and Pedro Neto now above him in the pecking order.
Sources say the Ukraine international may have to find a landing spot in January to help him play regular first-team football again.

He has played just 225 minutes of action this term, notching one assist.
Mudryk is under contract at Chelsea for seven more years after joining in a mega-money move from Shakhtar Donetsk in 2023.
The winger has notched five goals and four assists in 48 Premier League appearances for the Blues.
Chelsea sit fifth in the Premier League table after beating West Ham 3-0 on Saturday (21 September).
Mudryk could feature in the League Cup against Barrow on Tuesday (24 September).
