Mykhailo Mudryk’s Social Media Post Sparks Debate Amid Chelsea’s Transfer Chaos
Mykhailo Mudryk, the Ukrainian winger signed by Chelsea in January 2023, has sparked controversy with his latest social media post. The 23-year-old "liked" a comment on Instagram, which claimed that his teammates should pass to him more often. The post has led to a heated debate among Chelsea fans, with some calling for the Blues to offload the struggling player.
The situation at Stamford Bridge is tense, with 13 first-team stars forced to train away from Enzo Maresca’s squad amid a ruthless cull. Raheem Sterling, Ben Chilwell, and Romelu Lukaku are among those desperate to secure permanent moves away from the club. Meanwhile, Mudryk, who has failed to impress in the Premier League, appears to be caught in the middle.
Chelsea fans are split on Mudryk’s decision to like the comment. Some argue that he is justified in seeking more involvement in the team’s attack, while others believe he needs to work on his game to earn the trust of his teammates.
"Let the chaos begin," one fan wrote on social media. "Every time Mudryk has been on the field, I can’t help but feel that he is purposely not being passed to," another commenter added.
However, not all fans agree. "Maybe he should learn to start making runs off the ball as well as retaining the ball better," one supporter argued. "He’s a turnover machine because he mostly loses his duels or has such an awful touch that the opponents just easily intercept it," another fan chimed in.
Mudryk’s performance on the pitch has been a subject of concern for Chelsea fans. According to SofaScore, he has lost the ball 34 times per 90 minutes, resulting in an average of 2.1 lost possessions per game. His dribbling success rate is also low, with just 44.4% of his attempts resulting in a successful dribble.
A fourth fan summed up the debate: "I haven’t noticed teammates not passing to him. But every time he receives the ball he takes a heavy touch, tries to run on to it, then a defender steps in to make a winning challenge."
With Chelsea’s transfer window rapidly closing, the Blues need to act quickly to offload their unwanted players. Will Mudryk’s recent social media post have a bearing on his future at the club? Only time will tell.
