“He’s a good player no doubt but he is nowhere close to the level of player that Chelsea needs now. He plays like he is not ready for the competitiveness of the Premier League. Loan him out so he can gain much needed experience” – A Chelsea TV presenter has suggested that the club should consider loaning out a “disappointing” player after recent performances.
Chelsea TV presenter Jason Cundy has called on the club to loan out Mykhailo Mudryk, describing his performances as 'disappointing' and expressing doubts about whether he will ever succeed at Stamford Bridge.

Mudryk’s time at Chelsea, following a £62m transfer from Shakhtar Donetsk, has been underwhelming. The deal, which could rise to £89m with add-ons, seems unlikely to reach those figures based on his current form.
After scoring seven goals in 41 matches last season, Mudryk has yet to find the back of the net in eight appearances this season.
Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca, who joined the club in July, has acknowledged Mudryk’s struggles, giving him just one Premier League start this season.
Despite beating Arsenal to sign him, Chelsea may now be regretting not allowing Mudryk to head north rather than west.
However, there is still hope that he could turn things around, live up to his hefty price tag, and become one of the Premier League’s top wingers.

“He’s far down the pecking order for me. I just don’t see much in him as a player. He has football intelligence, but although he’s incredibly fast, it often seems like his feet are quicker than his brain—he struggles to adjust. He has so much potential, but he’s been really disappointing.”
Maresca addressed Mudryk’s challenges earlier in the season, acknowledging that his decision-making needed improvement.
When asked if Mudryk needed to be more consistent to succeed at Chelsea, Maresca responded, “This is who Misha is, this is Mudryk since he joined the club. He’s had good moments, but other times it’s like flipping a coin—you don’t know what you’re going to get.”
“This is Misha. If he can become more consistent, he can take a step forward, and we’ll work to help him improve.
He needs to understand that we will give him the ball in the final third, and from there it’s about making the right decisions.
For me, most of Misha’s mistakes are not due to lack of quality or technical errors, but poor choices.
Sometimes he should pass but tries something else, and we lose possession. Other times he should take on a defender one-on-one. It’s all about decision-making, and hopefully we can help him improve that.”
If Chelsea decides to loan out Mudryk or sell the Ukrainian international, they will likely incur a significant loss, which another former Blues player believes is the most reasonable outcome.
When asked if Mudryk has the potential to succeed at Stamford Bridge, Glen Johnson told Betfred: “We haven’t seen it yet.
There have been glimpses of his talent, and at times he has looked unstoppable, but those moments have been infrequent.
Right now, it seems he may not be suited for the Premier League, as we would have noticed it by now if he were. Perhaps his time at Chelsea is coming to an end.”
