<\/p>\n

Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino may have a job on his hands to convince Mykhaylo Mudryk to remain at the club after one of his former coaches told him to consider leaving the club. The Blues winger has made gradual improvements this season and earned plaudits from fans and pundits alike, but there have been calls for Mudryk to find another club where he will be more comfortable after struggling to settle in London.<\/p>\n

Mudryk has been burdened by inflated expectations since his high-profile \u00a388million transfer from Shakhtar Donetsk in January this year. The youngster, 22, has scored twice in 28 appearances, with two assists for the club as well.<\/p>\n

Both goals have come this season under Pochettino, with the Ukraine international finally scoring his first goal for Chelsea in their league win over Fulham in October. He then followed that with a fortuitous lob that embarrassed David Raya against Arsenal.<\/p>\n

The west London club have experienced one of the most turbulent periods in their history after finishing 12th in owner Todd Boehly’s first season at the club. And while Mudryk is not solely to blame for Chelsea’s struggles on the pitch, his lack of goals have contributed to a run that has seen them win only eight games in 2023.<\/p>\n

As a contrast, Mudryk’s form at international level, with four-goal contributions in his last six caps for Ukraine, would appear to reinforce the claim made by a former coach that he is not being utilised correctly by his club or manager.<\/p>\n

Carlo Nicolini, who has been with Shakhtar since 2020 after arriving with former coach Roberto De Zerbi, has urged Mudryk to consider leaving Chelsea to find the best club and coach for him to thrive under.<\/p>\n

\u201cMudryk needed to take one more step there, then the war happened. He went to Chelsea which, however, is not a team, in these contexts, even the individual struggles,\u201d he told Italian outlet TV Play.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the national team you can see the real Mudryk, he can do even more. He must find the right environment and a coach who gives him confidence. He has everything to rock, I hope he can show it because he is really strong.\u201d<\/p>\n
