De Zerbi praises former Arsenal transfer target Mudryk

Of course, due to the fact th🌌at two Premier League sides have been linked, 🔴his performances so far will be heavily criticised.

Many discuss the player, and this includes Brighton manager De Zerbi. Speaking to , the Italian was 🌠full of praise for Mudryk, who he called a “top player”. He went on to say that: “He has the quality to become a star in the Premier League.”

When a new player comes ꦰto the Premier League, you never know how long it will take them to get to their best. The division is very difficult, with every match competitive. Some also struggle with the 🌺physicality of the league.

Mudryk is a transfer who is clearly struggling; however, with Chel🌺sea🍒 signing many players and also going through multiple managers this season, it is easy to see why that is the case.

The 22 year old will definitely take some time to settle in the division. At his former club Shakhtar Donetsk, Mudryk managed 12 goals and 17 assists in 🐽44 appearances. He definitely has the potential to do this in the Premier League.

For now though, Arse🦹nal will not feel like they have missed out on the signing. They continue to battle for the title and losing out on Mudryk hasn’t affected them, despite key player𓆏 Zinchenko wanting him at the club.
