Mykhailo Mudryk has said he has only shown “20%” of his potential in a Chelsea shirt and is relishing the prospect of reaching his best form under new head coach Mauricio Pochettino.
The 21-year-old joined Chelsea from Shakhtar Donetsk in January for a fee that could reach €100 million ($110.7m) but has so far registered just two assists and failed to score a single goal in 17 competitive appearances for the club.

However, Mudryk found the net in his first preseason outing on Chelsea’s tour of the United States, combining superbly with new signing Nicolas Jackson to fire home in Saturday’s 4-3 win over Brighton in Philadelphia.
Asked to reflect on his performance at Lincoln Financial Field, Mudryk said: “I feel happy for all the work I put into this goal.
“It is not all my potential. It is only 20%. I feel good because playing under Pochettino, our manager, it is nice, it is enjoyable and it is a new team which is also enjoyable.”
