TalkSPORT pundit Ally McCoist has claimed that he believes Chelsea’s Mykhailo Mudryk will go on to be a star at Stamford Bridge.

This is after Ian Wright made the claim that he will struggle to live up to his price tag following his decision not to join Arsenal in January.

The league leaders looked set to bring the Ukrainian in to bolster their attacking options, however it was Stamford Bridge where he was being unveiled two months ago.

It has not been the ideal start to life for Mudryk, however his lack of recent football should be used as a reason to describe any rustiness.

Last weekend saw him make a start off the back of Raheem Sterling’s injury setback.

The winger impressed greatly with his ability to settle in straight away in the attack, and picked up a deserved goal contribution as he assisted Mateo Kovacic late on.

McCoist backs Mudryk

While Wright made the point that it will be tough to live up to the price paid by the Blues, McCoist has disagreed, saying he believes he will be a star.

He said: “The signings have been excellent so far, but Wrighty’s 100% correct, Trossard’s been great, he’s been brilliant value, and he’ll continue to do well.

“However, where I maybe disagree with him ever so slightly, I still think Mudryk will be a great signing.”

Graham Potter has been wary to not throw Mudryk in to situations when he would be unable to make the desired impact.

The manager has occupied a similar stance with Marc Cucurella. The former Brighton man was left out the squad completely for a number of weeks, before making his return against Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League.

His impressive display has begun to turn things around with supporters who were beginning to grow frustrated with the 24-year-old.
