British journalist Piers Morgan expressed his opinion on the transfer of midfielder Mikhail Mudryk from Shakhtar Donetsk to Chelsea London.
“The American owner of Arsenal is much richer than the American owner of Chelsea. In fact, Stan Kroenke's wife is much richer than himself or Todd Boely. I don't quite understand how Arsenal were "intimidated financially" in connection with the loss of Mudrik.
As for Mudryk himself, it’s a little surprising to see a Ukrainian player flirt so enthusiastically with Arsenal and then at the last minute choose a club whose fans keep singing in support of one of Putin’s best friends, Roman Abramovich,” Morgan said. .
Recall that the former president and owner of Chelsea was Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich. Due to the sanctions that were applied to the oligarchs from the Russian Federation due to the full-scale invasion of Russia into Ukraine, he was forced to sell the club to the American businessman Todd Boely.
