The 23-year-old recorded only two assists in his first 17 appearances with the club. However, he managed to increase his tally during the 2023/24 season, ending with seven goals and two assists in his first full season, according to data courtesy of Fotmob.

Nonetheless, ahead of the new Premier League season, the Ukrainian forward has issued a clear message to opposition teams and doubters, stressing that his best form is still yet to come.

Mudryk sends clear message to rivals

Speaking in an interview with Chelsea's official website, the versatile attacker stressed that fans have yet to see the best of him.

“People haven’t seen the best of me,” Mudryk stated.
“There is still a lot more to come. I do a lot of hard work on and off the pitch. Sometimes you want something so badly, but it will only happen at the right time.

“You can try too hard, so you have to find a balance between that and not trying at all. When you find this balance, you will find success. I am confident you will see the best of me over time.”

Mudryk, who has seen his glimpses of sparkling performances largely overshadowed by the recent underwhelming form of Chelsea, will be hoping for a new lease on life under new manager Enzo Maresca.

The 23-year-old is presented with the opportunity to make good on his word, with Chelsea's first game of the new season against the highly rated Manchester City side.
