Chelsea are no strangers to spending lavishly on players, and one of the club's big-money signings has now been called 'overrated'.

Chelsea's £89 million man Mykhailo Mudryk has been labeled the "most overrated player in the Premier League" after failing to live up to expectations.

Mudryk's underwhelming two-year spell at Stamford Bridge has yielded just seven goals, and he's yet to score in eight appearances this campaign.

Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca has challenged the Ukrainian winger to improve his performances and reclaim his starting spot, but the competition is fierce.

Noni Madueke's impressive form and Jadon Sancho's arrival have pushed Mudryk down the pecking order.

Former Everton defender Alan Stubbs shares the sentiment, expressing his disappointment in Mudryk's performance.

"I think the most overrated or the biggest disappointment in terms of not living up to the hype, has to be Mykhailo Mudryk," Stubbs told BestBettingSites.com.

"They snatched the player from under the noses of Arsenal, and his capture was presented as a real coup, a statement.

"He just hasn't looked anywhere near the player that we all hoped he could be in his time at the club."
