Jovicevic had first-hand experience of Mudryk's dazzling skills at Shakhtar Donetsk during the first half of the season. This has convinced the manager that his former star player will remain a shining light in the future, even better than Madrid's Vinicius Junior. He said:
"He has more attacking skills than [Real Madrid’s] Vinicius. I can’t compare them, because Mudryk has just arrived at the top. Vinicius has been at the top level for several years. But he has enormous potential."

Mudryk's recent appearances at Chelsea are a testament to the unpredictable nature of the Premier League. After the winger was applauded for his impressive debut against Liverpool on 21 January, he was subject to criticism after a scoreless match against Fulham last weekend.
These conflicting views are proof that Mudryk will be subject to intense inspection at Chelsea, especially due to his €100 million price tag.
