Chelsea's stance on a struggling winter signing has been revealed this week.

The Blues never had any intention to offload Mykhailo Mudryk during the summer window.

That is according to Fabrizio Romano, who states that the club always had faith in the Ukraine forward.

Mudryk endured a miserable time from January to September at the Stamford Bridge club.

But he has come good, shining during his appearances in October.

Now it appears he may have stabilised his status within boss Mauricio Pochettino's squad.
