Chelsea boss Pochettino: I'm seeing a massive improvement in Mudryk

Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino is delighted with the improvement he's seeing in Mykhaylo Mudryk.

The Ukraine winger has come off an impressive international break ahead of today's clash with Arsenal.

Pochettino said: “He has changed a lot from the day we first met him.

“After three months he is not a completely different player because we are not magic but he is a different person.

“We are starting to see how lovely this guy is. He is so sensitive, smart. He is so clever. And how important it is to give confidence in life and in life to trust.

“When people trust they can be open and start to express their talent in football. Micha is doing really well in his relationships with the team, the coaching staff, the medical staff, with the club.

“That is a massive improvement. It is not to give him some exercises or some advice about how to move between the lines or one-v-one. That is part of his talent.

“But the most important thing is that he can feel confident and happy when you play football because you need to feel connected to the game."
