'He needs to get his act right' - Chelsea legend Mikel Obi takes a dig at £89 million signing

Ex-Super Eagles and Chelsea legend John Mikel Obi has taken a swipe at the Blues' £89 million signing.

Mykhailo Mudryk joined Chelsea in the 2022 summer transfer window for a massive fee worth £89 million but has failed to live up to the expectation.

The Blues winger only managed seven goals and provided just two assists in 41 appearances in all competitions.

The Ukraine international has taken a hit from Mikel following his poor performance in his first season for Chelsea.

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.
