Mykhailo Mudryk

Mykhailo Petrovych Mudryk (Ukrainian: Миха́йло Петро́вич Му́дрик; born 5 January 2001) is a Ukrainian professional footballer who plays as a winger for Premier League club Chelsea and the Ukraine national team. He is currently serving a provisional suspension from football for testing positive in a doping test. Mudryk began his career in the academies of Metalist Kharkiv and Dnipro, before moving to Shakhtar Donetsk in 2016. He made his professional debut two years later, followed by loans to Arsenal Kyiv and Desna Chernihiv. In 2023, he moved to English club Chelsea in a transfer worth an initial €70 million (£62 million), making him the most expensive Ukrainian footballer and the most expensive player signed from the Ukrainian Premier League.
