Mykhailo Mudryk was taunted by fans for his decision to join Chelsea over London rivals Arsenal in January.

The 22-year-old was whisked away to Stamford Bridge for a £88m by world football’s biggest spenders, after weeks of discussions with the Gunners. 

Mikel Arteta’s side grabbed Leandro Trossard in their dip back into the transfer bag, while Chelsea – who thought they had recruited a readymade star – were left regretting their purchase. 

Indeed, in the view of a few Gunners fans Mudryk will also be ruing the commitment, having won just three league games since arriving in the Premier League. 

While Arsenal ready themselves for a return to Champions League football and look best placed to challenge Manchester City’s superiority this term.

 In a video posted on TikTok, the pair can be seen mocking the 22-year-old, who appears to be stuck in some rather unfortunate London traffic. 

‘Arsenal bro, Mudryk Arsenal,’ one fan said. ‘Your dream team. Come on, if you had played you would have won the Premier League.’

To his credit the winger took the jibes in good spirit and even gave an acknowledging head nod when one in the group predicted he’ll be the ‘best player in the world.’

If that is to be the case, Sunday’s cameo provided no indication. The Ukrainian international is coming off yet another defeat as a Blues player following the disappointing 3-1 defeat to West Ham. 

Mudryk’s display featured all the aspects Chelsea fans have come to loathe about the big money signing. Poor decisions and missed chances. 

The youngster is still awaiting his first goal for the club after lighting up both the Ukrainian top-flight and, more impressively, the Champions League during the first half of last season. 

New boss Mauricio Pochettino will hope to unlock the talent that had European heavyweights fighting it out for his signature.
