"Mudrik is an explosive, determined and very, very fast footballer. He's the type of player who has to make a difference on the field. The job Mudrik will do in the future is the same as Eden Hazard had at Chelsea. Those two players are the same type, and Mudrik has potential.

As for Chelsea's latest transfer campaign, of course, 99% of the time no one signs that many newcomers in January. In this sense, the list of Chelsea's acquisitions was a big surprise to me. On the other hand, if we analyze who the club has acquired, we can conclude that Chelsea definitely have a plan. These are the players for the future. So they need time and we need patience," the Evening Standard quotes Poyet as saying.
