Mykhailo Mudryk, who has struggled to make a significant impact since joining Chelsea in 2023, will not be leaving the club in January.
The Ukrainian international winger, signed from Shakhtar Donetsk for a deal that could reach £89 million, has faced difficulties securing regular first-team appearances.
Under both former manager Mauricio Pochettino and current head coach Enzo Maresca, Mudryk has primarily been used in cup competitions rather than in the Premier League.
Despite his limited playing time, Mudryk has decided to stay at Chelsea and fight for his place in the starting XI.
Mudryk’s Agent Speaks on Future Plans
Mudryk’s agent, Vadim Shabliy, spoke out about the player’s future, firmly stating that Mudryk has no desire to leave Stamford Bridge in the winter transfer window.
Shabliy emphasized that while Mudryk continues to attract interest from top clubs, including Manchester United, the winger’s focus remains on securing his spot in Chelsea’s first team.
The agent pointed out that Mudryk’s abilities, which include quick decision-making, match awareness, and responsibility on the pitch, will ultimately help him earn more playing time. Shabliy reassured fans and the media that Mudryk’s commitment to Chelsea is unwavering as he seeks to prove his worth under Maresca.
Chelsea’s Challenge and Mudryk’s Determination
Mudryk has not played in Chelsea’s last two Premier League fixtures, against Aston Villa and Southampton, but he did score a memorable goal in the UEFA Conference League against Heidenheim in October.
As Chelsea continue their strong campaign, sitting second in the Premier League, Mudryk is determined to make a greater impact in the coming months.
With his focus firmly on improving and impressing Maresca, Mudryk hopes to be involved in Chelsea’s upcoming matches, including their trip to face rivals Tottenham this weekend.
Despite the external pressure and transfer rumors, Mudryk’s priority remains to fight for his place at the club and help contribute to their ongoing success
