Graham Potter, the manager of Chelsea, acknowledges that Mykhailo Mudryk’s success in the Premier League is “not certain” follow the huge transfer fee.

Mudryk signed a whopping seven-and-a-half-year deal at his new club after the west London club gazumped their north London rivals, Arsenal.

The winger is in line to make his debut against fellow underperformers Liverpool on Saturday.

“There is no guarantee anywhere,” Potter said in a press conference. “No magic formula that says this is going to work and this is how we see the future. With every decision you’ve got to make the best educated guess that you can.

“If you identify the right player and the right person there are huge upsides to it because you are developing and investing in him. If things go well you have a fantastic asset, and the club is secure in terms of the contract length. It’s a direction the club wants to go down and obviously I am supporting that as best I can.”

Chelsea has been quite busy in January, having just signing Noni Madueke from PSV and maintaining contacts with Moises Caicedo of Brighton and Malo Gusto of Lyon. Potter might anticipate making additional hires to help him save their season.

The 22-year-old hasn’t participated in a professional football match since November 2022, but because of Chelsea’s injury woes, he’ll be put in against Liverpool on Saturday.
