Those at Chelsea have already accepted that ‘frustrating’ player is a failed signing

There is a feeling inside Chelsea that one of their signings has been a huge failure, so much so that they may be prepared to sell the player in the New Year.

When you look at the current Chelsea squad, there’s a real mix of successes and failures in the dressing room.

If you’re searching for positives, someone like Cole Palmer has been a shining light since his arrival in 2023. Blues supporters will be glad to hear that Palmer is training ahead of the Bournemouth fixture on Saturday, as confirmed by the club’s official website.

Unfortunately, many of his teammates have struggled to make a significant impact at Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea accept Mykhailo Mudryk signing is a failure

According to GiveMeSport, Chelsea are not happy with the way that Mykhailo Mudryk has performed since he arrived at the club back in the January window of 2023. It’s understandable because the Ukraine attacker has only scored seven goals and made five assists in 62 appearances.

It is explained that there’s an acceptance at Chelsea that the signing of the 23-year-old winger has been a failure so far.

Apparently, if Mudryk’s form doesn’t improve from now until January, they may be open to selling him.

It cost the Blues a gigantic £89m deal (BBC) to sign the rapid forward from Shakhtar Donetsk, which is looking like a poor bit of business right now.

Mykhailo Mudryk will slip down pecking order

It does feel like Mudryk needs a miracle to save his Chelsea career because nothing is working out for him in west London. It’s even more frustrating when you see the left-winger perform during international breaks in Ukraine colours.

Speaking via talkSPORT last season, Carlton Cole described Chelsea’s Mudryk as a “frustrating” player. That is the perfect summary of his time in English football so far.

We think he could really struggle for minutes moving forward because of the increased competition in wide areas from teammates such as Jadon Sancho, Joao Felix, Christopher Nkunku, Noni Madueke and Pedro Neto.
