'Quality player': Chelsea ace lauds Tottenham superstar ahead of international clash
Mykhailo Mudryk has lauded England captain Harry Kane ahead of Ukraine’s clash against the Three Lions at Wembley Stadium, with the Chelsea winger keen to put on a big performance.
Speaking to Sky Sports News, the 22-year-old attacker was full of praise for the Tottenham striker, who this week became England’s all-time leading goalscorer after bagging his 54th goal for Gareth Southgate’s side in a 2-1 win against Italy.
Mudryk said when asked about the problems Kane will pose for Ukraine this Sunday in London: “(Kane’s) a very good player. A quality player. I know a little bit about him and I like the way he works to become a top scorer of all time for England. I like him.”
With Ukraine still at war with Russian, the eastern European nation are expected to receive a sensational reception later today at Wembley, with Mudryk himself likely to put on a performance to remember having struggled for Chelsea since moving to England in January.
Signed for a reported £88.5m, Mudryk was one of the biggest transfers of the winter window, yet the former Shakhtar Donetsk superstar is yet to get going under Graham Potter, with the winger bagging just one assist in all competitions for the Blues.
Indeed, Mudryk has drawn criticism from Chelsea supporters given how much the club have spent on the attacker, yet the forward could silence a few doubters later today when Ukraine take on England, with a big performance on the cards for the 22-year-old.
Mudryk will want to impress for Ukraine against England
It will be an unusual atmosphere at Wembley today when England host Ukraine, yet for Mudryk, the Chelsea winger will have only one thing on his mind, and that will be to send the Three Lions down a peg or two with a trademark performance we are yet to see from the Blues star.
Playing in an attacking system tailored to his style of play, Mudryk could flourish today depending on who Southgate starts in the defence, and Chelsea fans will be hopeful that their new winger for the future gives England a performance to remember.
