Shakhtar Donetsk star, Georgiy Sudakov has revealed that Mykhailo Mudryk wants him to play for Chelsea.

Mudryk left the Ukrainian side for Stamford Bridge in January, and after a hugely disappointing first few months in England, has started to show the quality he’s made of.

Sudakov, like Mudryk, is also being targeted by Arsenal, but the 21-year-old has now said that Mudryk, whom he describes as a ‘close friend’, is keen to see him join him at Chelsea.

He told the Telegraph: “Misha is my close friend and we talk a lot.

“I already received some precious advice from him, in case I move to England.

“How to adapt, how it’s not easy to get into the pace of the game, so for me it’s very useful advice. He recommends moving to a top championship like the Premier League as quickly as possible because to develop your game it helps to adapt more quickly, physically and psychologically.

“Misha has got huge potential and perhaps one of the reasons why you didn’t see him at the top level in England yet is because he is saying there is not such a player like a Sudakov who constantly delivers with top passes and assists for him!”
