Chelsea winger Mykhailo Mudryk's under performance is becoming a cause of concern for the club
Chelsea winger Mykhaylo Mudryk faces an uncertain future at Stamford Bridge following a lackluster performance in the recent 2-2 draw against Aston Villa.
The Ukrainian international’s struggles to make a significant impact on Mauricio Pochettino’s squad have raised doubts about his £88.5 million price tag and long-term prospects with the club.
Mudryk, 23, has endured a challenging season, managing to score only six goals since his arrival from Shakhtar Donetsk.
Despite occasional glimpses of promise, his inconsistent performances and questionable decision-making in crucial moments have left much to be desired.

With the impending return of Omari Hutchinson from his successful loan spell at Ipswich Town, Mudryk faces increased competition for his place in the squad.
Omari Hutchinson excelling at Ipswich Town, could return to Chelsea.
Hutchinson, 20, joined Chelsea from Arsenal in 2022 but was loaned out last summer to gain valuable playing time.
His stellar performances for Ipswich Town in the Championship have not gone unnoticed, with the Jamaican international proving to be a constant threat down the right flank.
His recent brace against Hull City showcased his skill and potential, leaving fans and management impressed.
Kieran McKenna’s side finds itself level on points with second-placed Leeds United, thanks in part to Hutchinson’s contributions. His versatility and ability to play on either wing make him a formidable contender for a starting position, potentially displacing Mudryk or Noni Madueke.
As Chelsea’s decision-makers weigh their options for the upcoming season, they must consider whether to continue investing in Mudryk or explore alternative options.
Hutchinson’s impressive loan spell and readiness for top-flight football provide a compelling case for his inclusion in the first team, adding further pressure on Mudryk to rediscover his form or face the risk of being sidelined.
