Mikel on Mudryk
John Obi-Mikel returned to his podcast with a vengeance, sharing his opinions on Chelsea's players, including Mudryk.
The former midfield player targeted Mykhailo Mudryk, who has struggled to live up to his high price tag since signing in January 2022.
During an interview with ObionePodcast, as reported by CFCDaily on X, Mikel said, “Mykhailo Mudryk needs to get his f*cking head right. He’s such a good player; pace, power, good on the ball,” Mikel ranted.
“But he needs to get his act right. Forget about the whole hair and tattoos… play f*cking football and win us games.”
Mikel launched an intense verbal attack on the young person, citing odd social media posts and overall behaviour.
With a new manager being appointed by Chelsea, Mudryk will be hoping he can have a turnaround in his performance next season.
