Chelsea

Chelsea's new signing Mykhailo Mudryk was in attendance for the visit of Crystal Palace, having finalised his big-money move from Shakhtar.

“The players have suffered and it’s not nice. “You have to stabilise things and work to support the club as best as you can,” he said. “I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t relieved because it’s nice to get a win,” Potter said. You have to do the right thing and the window is complicated in January.” They have to be used in the right way.” Chelsea are without 10 players through injury and suspension but Potter does not want the squad to become bloated.

Mykhaylo Mudryk has completed a move to the Premier League from Shakhtar Donetsk, with Chelsea beating Arsenal to the Ukraine star.

Chelsea unveiled €70m new signing Mykhailo Mudryk at halftime, but they struggled up front before Kai Havertz hit the winner against Crystal Palace.

[Joachim Andersen](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/196081/Joachim-Andersen) forced off through injury in the first half and failed to find any momentum for much of the second. The winger was exceptional for [Chelsea](/soccer/team?id=363) and was at the heart of the chances they created. [Tyrick Mitchell](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/300853/Tyrick-Mitchell) also had a close-range effort well saved. [Michael Olise](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/286831/Michael-Olise) caused Chelsea difficulty and forced a smart save from Kepa in the first half from a neatly struck half-volley. Potter on new signing Mudryk: "He is a young player with exciting quality in the final third. Following the news of his passing, this was the first time Chelsea had the chance to recognise their favourite son at home. The matchday programme had tributes to the great man, while there were plenty of reminders of the impact he had on the club. [David Datro Fofana](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/301047/David-Datro-Fofana) is more a signing for the future, so the focus switches to Mudryk. At half-time their latest big-money signing (potentially €100m with add-ons) was presented to the crowd as Mudryk stood in the centre circle, draped in the [Ukraine](/soccer/team?id=457) flag. January signings sometimes take time to bed in (though Benoit Badiashile's debut went well) and while Mudryk's talent is unquestioned, this will be a step up for him. Then came a reminder of his profligacy in the 80th minute as he flashed a header wide when he should've scored. He has come in for criticism recently but eventually found the net from a well-worked corner routine in the 65th minute.

Kai Havertz's second-half goal gave Chelsea a 1-0 win over Crystal Palace that eases the pressure on manager Graham Potter.

Sensing a lull, the crowd bellowed Vialli’s name and Potter introduced Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. Hall was not tight enough to the Palace winger early on. Vialli was there when Chelsea were establishing themselves as a force and, as former players gathered to remember the club’s old manager, it was tempting to imagine that the emotion would inspire today’s ailing team. Olise was able to send in a cross and Tyrick Mitchell was unlucky at the far post, Arrizabalaga blocking the left-back’s shot. Watching from an executive box, Mudryk could have been forgiven for wondering whether it was too late to call Arsenal. That said, it remains to be seen whether the current hierarchy can fashion a side as watchable as Vialli’s. On a day when the memory of the late, great Gianluca Vialli acted as a unifying force, it felt imperative for Chelsea’s players to show pride in the badge. There was energy to begin with, but would there be enough quality? Chelsea needed to display a level of coherence that has so proved beyond them under Potter. Potter had remarked that everything has been going wrong in recent weeks, but facing a team as blunt as Palace was too good an opportunity to waste. Chelsea’s new arrival from Shakhtar Donetsk, Mykhaylo Mudryk, watched his new team from the stands and more incomings are likely before the transfer window shuts. Even so, with 10 players missing through injury and suspension, a glimpse of the old defiance was welcome.

The Shakhtar Donetsk player is their fifth signing in the January transfer window.

Ian Wright has criticised Chelsea's transfer strategy after they signed Arsenal target Mykhaylo Mudryk on a deal that could be worth up to €100m (£88m).

“So the pressure’s building on him, they’re not getting results, they continue to buy players and get injuries. Maybe bring in like-minded people to go to the next level but why would you change the model? “He’s totally changed the model. “We’re talking about a club that doesn’t have the patience for that. Why wouldn’t you stay in there, learn from the people who have been in there? “But what’s happening at Arsenal is that they’re on a road to doing something and building something and they see Mudryk as a player who can come in, the way he plays, his attitude, the way he is, would’ve been perfect for the group.
