Mudryk joined Chelsea from Shakhtar in 2023 for an initial £61m, having attracted interest from clubs across Europe including Arsenal.
After impressing in the Champions League with Shakhtar in the first half of 2022-23, Mudryk needed time to adapt to a new country and league.
He had to wait until October 2023 for his first Chelsea goal, and he ended his first full campaign at Stamford Bridge with seven

Birmingham City’s owners have completed the purchase of the women’s team, with England and Blues legend Karen Carney part of several independent investors involved in the deal.
Shelby Companies Limited (SCL) are a subsidiary of Knighthead Capital Management – an investment firm co-founded by Blues chairman Tom Wagner.
They bought a controlling share of the Championship club in July 2023 before increasing that to a full takeover last November.

On the face of it, Frank Onyeka is exactly what Coventry need right now.
He is not nicknamed ‘The Tank’ without good reason. Stemming the flow of passes through midfield is what is required, especially away from home, and giving the overworked Matt Grimes some badly needed assistance which, in turn, should ease the pressure on the defenders behind them.
