‘He’s really struggling’: Kevin Campbell says Chelsea dressing room needs to help £100k-a-week player

Former Arsenal striker Kevin Campbell thinks Chelsea winger Mykhailo Mudryk needs help from the dressing room amid his struggles.

Mykhailo Mudryk has had a difficult time at Stamford Bridge since arriving in January and Campbell, speaking on Friday Football Social, says it would be helpful if the Blues had a dressing room that could actually support the winger.

Mauricio Pochettino’s squad has a lot of young players right now and the club as a whole is struggling, which does not help any recent signing trying to settle.

Chelsea currently find themselves in 15th place after taking just five points from their first six games.

Mykhailo Mudryk really struggling

According to Campbell, Mudryk is having a tough time at Stamford Bridge and Chelsea do not have the necessary culture in the dressing room to help him right now.

On the Ukrainian, the BBC pundit said: “He’s really struggling, he’s really struggling, he’s really struggling. This is where the culture in the dressing room has got to be able to help these young players because he’s a very young player. But they just don’t seem to have that culture there at the moment.”

Chelsea’s dressing room

Of course, Chelsea’s dressing room is not what it used to be. The Blues have lost so many experienced players recently.

The likes of Cesar Azpilicueta and Jorginho are no longer at the club, leaders who may have been able to help Mudryk with his adaptation process.

Going forward, we think Chelsea need to eventually address this problem and bring in a few experienced players who know what it takes to win. If they fail to do that, it could be a while before the Blues get back to the top.

For now, Mudryk, who earns £100,000 a week (Spotrac) at Stamford Bridge, and his team-mates just need to focus on putting a run together and climbing the table.
