Chelsea boss Graham Potter never wanted Chelsea owner Todd Boehly to sign Mykhailo Mudryk from Shakhtar Donetsk, according to Paul Merson.

Merson told Sky Sports: “At Tottenham, Chelsea did not look like scoring a goal in a year of Sundays.

“Mykhailo Mudryk is an £88m signing sitting on the bench, it tells you he’s not Potter’s player.

“If he was his player and if Potter would have gone to the board and said he needed Mudryk, he would have to play him.”
