Former Arsenal and Manchester City player Gael Clichy has expressed his belief that Chelsea forward Mykhailo Mudryk has the potential to become the best winger in the Premier League next season. Despite Mudryk’s somewhat modest goal tally of seven in his first full season with Chelsea, Clichy sees promising attributes in the Ukrainian player.
Mudryk made the move to Chelsea from Shakhtar Donetsk for a significant fee of around £88 million in January 2023, with Chelsea beating out competition from Arsenal for his signature. Despite experiencing some inconsistency in his performances during his debut season, Clichy remains optimistic about Mudryk’s future prospects.
Clichy emphasized that Mudryk possesses all the necessary qualities to excel as a winger in the Premier League. His endorsement of Mudryk suggests that he sees immense potential in the player, despite any initial struggles or adjustment periods. With Mudryk’s talent and attributes, Clichy believes that he could emerge as the top winger in the Premier League in the upcoming season.
