Chelsea coach Graham Potter shared his opinion on the debut of newcomer Mikhail Mudrik in the match of the 21st round of the Premier League against Liverpool (0:0).

The Ukrainian came on as a substitute in the second half in the 55th minute.

" He's only been with us for a few days.. He will only get better.. The longer he is with us, the more we will understand each other.. But there are promising signs. He will lift the fans from their seats. His dribbling is really high.. He knows where the goal is.

45 minutes is the maximum we planned to give him today. 35 minutes - close to ideal. We thought it was the right moment to bring him in.. He's fit, he's been training a lot. But he hasn't played since November, so having him in the starting lineup was risky..

I'm glad he got his first minutes and started his career at Chelsea, - Tribuna quotes Potter. com.

Recall that Chelsea paid Shakhtar 70 million euros for Mykhailo Mudrik, and another 30 million are spelled out in the agreement as bonuses. The footballer has signed a contract with the top Premier League club for 8.5 years.
