Chelsea owner Todd Boehly has been told Chelsea never needed £88million January signing Mykhailo Mudryk.

The Ukraine international joined Chelsea from Shakhtar Donetsk in January but has struggled to adapt to life in the English top flight as he continues to settle in at the Blues.

Transfer insider Dean Jones has questioned whether Chelsea actually should’ve signed Mudryk in the first place.

Jones told GIVEMESPORT: “I just don’t think they ever needed him in the first place and now, because they’ve spent so much money on him, they’ve got to find a role for him in the team and make it work.

“It’s really tricky, but in these early stages, I’m not too worried about it. From the player’s point of view, it takes a while to settle into English football sometime and we won’t see the full effect of him until next season.”

Will Mykhailo Mudryk be a success at Chelsea?
