Sudakov remains confident that despite struggles at Chelsea, Mudryk has the potential to win the Ballon d'Or

Despite his record of seven goals and five assists in 62 appearances, which may suggest he is an average player struggling to adapt to the Premier League, his Ukraine teammate Georgiy Sudakov remains optimistic, believing that the winger has yet to showcase his full potential. Sudakov insists that the best is yet to come for him.

“Mykhailo is an incredible player, he has no upper limit and he can win the Ballon d’Or with his qualities,” Sudakov told The Guardian in August. “But everything depends only on him. I believe he will be able to show his best qualities. Ukraine is an incredibly talented country and he is a great example for us to follow.”  

"In some moments we can manage some situations better. He was working hard off the ball but on the ball, I expect a bit more quality from Misha. He had some good moments today but the reason why was to change it and give Pedro some minutes." 

Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca now has a plethora of attacking talent to choose from this season including the likes of Pedro Neto, Noni Madueke, Cole Palmer, João Félix, Jadon Sancho and Christopher Nkunku which will likely leave Mudryk out of the side in the coming months. 

Mudryk will most definitely get his chance in the Conference League however after Palmer was left out the squad meaning he has the chance to impress Maresca and work his way back into the side.
