Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink has backed Mykhailo Mudryk to emulate Eden Hazard at Stamford Bridge after Chelsea beat Arsenal to the signing of the 22 year old winger.

“Arsenal had their valuation but when you get into a bidding war it’s up to the selling club to hold their price,” Hasselbaink told Safe Betting Sites.

“Chelsea wanted to do business but Arsenal didn’t want to get it done to the same extent and Chelsea capitalised on that.

“I think for Chelsea it’s a very, very good acquisition. I can see him making the fans very happy over the next few seasons.

“I see a bit of Joe Cole there but I think he could even be as important as Eden Hazard was for Chelsea.

“I’m not comparing them because that wouldn’t be fair but if you remember, Hazard came from Lille and in his first year he needed some time to settle.

“But then all of a sudden he took off and became a vital player at Stamford Bridge. It could be the same for Mudryk.”
