It was noted that Ukrainian heavyweight world champion Oleksandr Usyk has backed £88million Chelsea star Mykhaylo Mudryk to win the Ballon d’Or after a tough start at Stamford Bridge.
The 22-year-old winger had a host of European teams fighting for his signature in January and was linked with London rivals Arsenal before signing an eight-and-a-half year deal at Chelsea from Shakthar Donestk.
After scoring 10 goals in 18 games for Ukrainian side Shakhtar this season – including three in Europe – fans hoped the youngster would hit the ground running in the Premier League. However, the big money signing has had limited game-time with Chelsea, making just six appearances since his arrival.

It must be noted that the Ukrainian provided an assist in his side’s 3-1 win over Leicester earlier this month, but failed to impress for Ukraine during their 2-0 defeat against England on Sunday night.
Ukrainian heavyweight world champion Usyk was asked about Mudryk’s price tag during an interview with Parimatch earlier this year and gave a glowing review of the youngster.
“Everything has risen,” said Usyk about the £88m fee. “Prices, and money, are a little higher than they were. I think he’s worth a little more than 100 million because I’ve been watching this guy. I saw him for the first time playing for the U-18 or U-19 team.
