The Ukrainian has already been presented as a new signing at Stamford Bridge. He has penned an eight-and-a-half-year deal with Chelsea that will keep him at the club until the summer of 2031.

Callum Wilson, however, has explained why committing to such a long-term deal is a risk for the Ukrainian. The Newcastle United forward said on the Footballer’s Football Podcast:

Wilson went on to opine that it would have made more sense to go in stages rather than committing to a very long contract. The Englishman also warned of the uncertainties Mykhaylo Mudryk could face at Chelsea, given their struggles this season.

He continued:

Prior to his switch to the Premier League, Mudryk made 18 appearances for Shakhtar Donetsk this term, recording 10 goals and eight assists.

Speaking after his move to the west London outfit was confirmed, Mudryk told the club’s official website:

Mykhaylo Mudryk is yet to represent Chelsea since moving to London. The attacker could make his debut for the Blues when they take on Liverpool in the Premier League on Saturday (21 January).
