Former Liverpool star, Jamie Redknapp has backed Chelsea’s Mkyhailo Mudryk to have a good career at Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea had beat off competition from Arsenal to sign the Ukraine international some months ago.

Speaking on Sky Sports on Saturday, Redknapp described Mudryk as a brilliant signing, adding that he scores vital goals.

“If my mind serves me correctly they were in for Mudryk.

“They didn’t get him, he chose to go to Chelsea and they paid big money for him and he [Trossard] was probably the second choice,” Redknapp said.

“But if you look at the two careers up to now – and there’s nothing to say that Mudryk can’t go onto still have a good career at Chelsea – but he’s been a brilliant signing.

“He comes up with vital goals. He gives you width, he is comfortable on the ball.”
