The 100 million (70+30) paid by Chelsea forMykhailo Mudryk (Krasnohrad, 2001)for him they have unleashed unusual expectations. “If he had a Brazilian passport, it would be worth 100 million. If someone wants him, they will have to pay a lot of money,” advertis Darijo Srna, Shakhtar Football Director, at MARCA.
Finally, he has gotten away with it. “Mudryk is better than all the Brazilians we’ve had. It is not demagogy. I would dare to say that he is the best player in Europe in his position after Mbapp, Neymar and Vinicius. He has it all and shows it in every game. He drives with his left, with his right, he excels in one-on-one…”, Srna insisted.

In England they are impatient to see his debut. Es ms, Don Hutchinson, former player of Liverpool, West Ham and Everton, among others, It has contributed to fueling the ‘hype’ about Chelsea’s new left winger on the official Premier channel.
“Mbapp may be faster over short distances, but over 20 meters Mudryk is faster than Mbapp. He’s electric, strong, powerful… He’s a sprinter,” says the former Scottish international.

The fastest in the Champions League
Don Hutchinson is right. Mudryk was the fastest player in the Champions League group stage, equaled with Ousmane Dembl, with a top speed of 36.6 km/h. Super, in the ‘photo finish’ Rafael Leao (36.5), Fede Valverde (36.3), Nuno Tavares (36.2) and Alphonso Davies (36.2).
Don Hutchinson asks, yes, patience with the former Shakhtar: “It is true that it has cost 100 million, but he is not yet a made player, he is not even close. He still doesn’t manage to be amazing from the beginning, but he can destroy anyone.”

He even endorsed his signing before it was official. “I have commentated on the last 6-7 games of Shakhtar in the Ukrainian League and many of their games in the Champions League, so I have seen a lot of Mudryk. Therefore, I can affirm that it is much faster and more dynamic than Grealish and Antony. It remains to be done, but his potential is enormous.”
Don Hutchinson advises Graham Potter about the ideal role for Mudryk, who has registered 10 goals and eight assists in his 18 appearances for Shakhtar this term: “Left winger. Starting from that position allows him to run out with space. I don’t see him playing ‘false’ 9.”
