Mykhailo Mudryk was seen at the Emirates Stadium while watching an Arsenal match against his former team, Shakhtar Donetsk, in the Champions League. 

The Ukrainian spent five years with Shakhtar Donetsk before joining Chelsea in the January transfer window for a transfer fee worth £88 million. 

During his playing time at Shakhtar Donetsk, the winger scored 12 goals and provided 17 assists in 44 appearances in all competitions.

Mudryk’s impressive performance with Shakhtar Donetsk caught the attention of Arsenal and Chelsea. 

The Arsenal side pushed to sign the Ukrainian in 2023 before Chelsea went ahead to hijack the deal with a huge transfer fee and wages. The football star has continued to underperform since he moved to Chelsea in 2023.

In his last 66 appearances for Chelsea, the winger has only scored seven goals in all club competitions. 

There is uncertainty surrounding the player’s future at Chelsea, and he may consider moving to another club in the January transfer window. 

How Can Arsenal Revive Mykhailo Mudryk’s Falling Career? 

Mudryk’s chances of playing a competitive match for Chelsea have been limited due to the competition on the right wing of the pitch. 

Jadon Sancho and Pedro Neto are expected to start ahead of Mudryk in subsequent matches in all competitions. 

The two right-wingers of the Arsenal team, Leandro Trossard and Gabriel Martinelli, need more competition because they are currently struggling to make a significant impact.

Arsenal can revive Mudryk’s career by bidding for the winger in the 2025 January transfer window. 

Mudryk is expected to fit in the Mikel Arteta style of play because of the player’s ability to cut in through the defense, hit the ball from an unexpected spot, and create chances.

However, there is huge doubt on whether Arsenal will take the risk to sign the Ukrainian in the January transfer window. 

Mykhailo Mudryk salary

The Ukrainian winger earns a weekly wage of €130,000 and a yearly income of €6,760,000. 

Mykhailo Mudryk stats

Mudryk has made 143 appearances, scoring 19 goals and creating 26 assists in all club competitions.

The Ukrainian has received 19 yellow cards and a red card so far in his career. 

Out of the 19 goals scored, seven were for Chelsea and 12 for Shakhtar Donetsk. 

The Chelsea winger made his international debut for the Ukraine national team on June 1, 2022.

He proceeded to score three goals in 26 appearances for the country. 

Which side did Mudryk play for before Chelsea?

Mudryk played for Shakhtar Donetsk from 2018 to 2023 before he decided to move to Chelsea on January 15, 2023. 

Since he moved to London, his performance at Shakhtar Donetsk has gone down the drain, with Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca pushing the Ukrainian down the pecking order. 

How Fast Is Mudryk

It was revealed that the Ukrainian has covered 36.63 km/h since moving to the Premier League. He is one of the fastest players in the Chelsea squad.
