A lot of fans agree with Wenger’s comments on Mykhailo Mudryk making the wrong choice to move to Chelsea.
Arsenal legendary manager spoke on his philosophy that helped him develop so many players at Arsenal.
He said:
“I believe that the philosophy of a club and the style of a club is very important. The career of a player depends 90% on the club where he is, and I believe that Arsenal is a club that has had a very very big positive influence on its players.”
Mudryk arrived at Chelsea from Shakhtar Donetsk for a huge fee after playing just a few games for Shakhtar. The fee reported to be shock to Ibrahimovic, forced Arsenal to pull out of a deal to sign him.
Other than that, reports all confirm that he wanted to join Arsenal, with many documenting his “get me” pleas.
Reports even suggest Mudryk cried when his move to Arsenal did not materialize, moving to Chelsea instead.
Mykhailo Mudryk’s slow start to live in West London
He failed to score in his first six months at the club, recording just two assists. He has now scored six goals in the following six months, with three coming in the last two months.
The Ukrainian started to win the trust of Pochettino who is playing him more often, either as a starter or off the bench.
His most recent performances have failed to convince however, especially in the last two games.
He started in the matches versus Arsenal at the Emirates and Aston Villa but was largely ineffective.
His performance versus Villa in particular has raised more concerns, scrutiny and criticism after initially being let of the hook for being young and new.
