Chelsea winger Mykhailo Mudryk has really impressed his teammates in training.

That is according to journalist Ben Jacobs, writing for GiveMeSport.

Mykhailo Mudryk has struggled in the Premier League, but it looks like he has been performing at a very high level in training.

The Ukrainian was able to score in Chelsea’s 2-0 win against Fulham on Monday, but that was only his first goal for the club, showing how difficult he has found it to make the transition from Shakhtar Donetsk to the Blues.

However, now that Mudryk has opened up his account for Chelsea, maybe the floodgates will start to open.

Mykhailo Mudryk impressing in training

While Mudryk has not been at his best in the Premier League, that does not appear to have stopped him from getting the job done at Cobham.

Speaking abut the 22-year-old behind the scenes, Jacobs said: “Mudryk has consistently wowed his teammates in training and has a strong personal relationship with both Ben Chilwell and Nicolas Jackson on and off the field.

“There is a real feeling his first goal can help get him going quickly, and once that happens he’s well capable of taking the Premier League by storm.”

Mauricio Pochettino pleased with Mykhailo Mudryk in training

As well as the players, Pochettino also seems to be impressed with how Mudryk is performing in training.

The Argentine recently told football.london and other outlets that the £100,000-a-week (Spotrac) Ukraine international is only playing right now because of how well he is doing at Cobham.

If his levels in training do not dip, you would expect Pochettino to continue giving him chances, even if he does not always deliver when given one, and that is all a player can ask for, to be given an opportunity.

Mudryk’s next one could come on Saturday when Chelsea travel to Turf Moor to take on Burnley.
