Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino has urged Chelsea duo Mykhailo Mudryk and Levi Colwill to do their talking on the pitch.

Both Mudryk and Colwill look set to have points to prove at Stamford Bridge in the coming 2023-24 season under new boss Pochettino.

Mudryk arrived in a big-money move in January from Shakhtar Donetsk but failed to ignite in his first half-season at Chelsea, while Colwill is looking to cement a first team spot, having thrived on loan at Brighton last term.

Pochettino said: “I’ve spoken with all of the players a lot. I find a really good kid (Mudryk) still really young with amazing potential. The most important thing is to earn the trust. They need to know us and the way that we act. We had many chats and I am so happy about that.

“With Levi also, we had a nice chat, this is private but I think it’s important, they need to know us. They need to know us, know what we think and need to know if they have the possibility to bein the starting XI. We are happy with all and the reality of the two [is that] they need to speak on the pitch.”
