Chelsea defender Colwill: Now watch Mudryk go

Chelsea forward Mykhailo Mudryk will now kick on and show the Premier League his quality.

That is the view of his teammate Levi Colwill, who heaped praise on the Ukrainian winger.

Mudryk scored his first goal in the Premier League on Monday against Fulham in a 2-0 win.

The mega money signing had failed to score in countless appearances since signing for the club in January.

"He's a great player," said defender Colwill post-game.

"He can be one of the best in the world. He's got everything you want as a winger and as a player. It's tough coming in from Ukraine to Chelsea. There's a lot of pressure that he may not have experienced, a different culture and other things together.

"It was always going to be tough to hit the ground running but in the first half he was amazing. I'm so happy for him, you could see in the celebrations. He deserved that. Everyone can see the qualities he has and we see it all the time in training.

"He's such a good player and to come here and bring it in the first half was amazing. Now it's about kicking on from here and, hopefully, he can build on it and become a great player."
