The £88.5 million signing is set to make his debut this week.

“This is a big club and I’m happy to be here.

Hard work is a very strong thing for me and something I’ve always looked to do.
“Every match in the Premier League is very difficult but I really can’t wait to get started here.” Chelsea hope Mudryk can ignite their season, with the Blues languishing in the 10th place in the Premier League and facing missing out on Champions League qualification.
Mudryk joined Chelsea for an initial fee of £62 million after Arsenal blocked their pursuit of the 22-year-old, who excelled for Shakhtar cutting in on the left wing.
Potter hopes Mudryk will inject some creativity into a Chelsea offense that has scored 22 goals in 19 League games this season.
