Mykhailo Mudryk has a great relationship at Chelsea with Nicolas Jackson and Ben Chilwell.

That is according to journalist Ben Jacobs.

Mykhailo Mudryk, 22, has had a difficult start to life in Chelsea colours since arriving at Stamford Bridge in January.

The Ukrainian winger is certainly still trying to find rhythm on the pitch and connections with his teammates.

Jacobs has reported via Simon Phillips’ Substack that Mudryk is hitting it off with Jackson and Chilwell, though.

We certainly noticed in pre-season moments when Mudryk did connect well with both Chilwell and Jackson, so perhaps the pair could play a key role in helping to unlock his quality.

Mudryk is a fascinating left-winger with bundles of great physical attributes, but he’s struggling to piece anything together right now.

We wouldn’t mind seeing a run of games post-international break with Mudryk on the left of attack and Chilwell as a conventional left-back available to make overlapping runs.

Meanwhile, Jackson is a central striker that all his teammates should be looking to bounce off in the final third.
