Mykhailo Mudryk gets bold new look after hair & tattoos warning from former Chelsea star – with £89m winger ready for a fresh start at Stamford Bridge

Premier League

Leicester

The Ukraine international moved to Stamford Bridge in the winter transfer window of 2023. He shunned interest from other clubs, including Arsenal, in order to make his way to west London. The 23-year-old has, however, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/mykhailo-mudryk-70m-isnt-worth-seven-quid-chelsea-playing-like-reserve-team-stamford-bridge-horror-show/blt5e186ba6a60fdecf" target="_blank">found the going tough in England</a>.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Having gone 23 games without finding the target for Chelsea, he <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/one-goal-89m-winger-mykhailo-mudryk-best-in-world-billing-chelsea-levi-colwill/blt820b27adb5be26b5" target="_blank">eventually opened his account against Fulham in October 2023</a>. He finished that campaign with seven efforts to his name. More was expected of Mudryk, with <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/mykahilo-mudryk-told-still-average-inconsistent-chelsea-displays-roberto-di-matteo-blues-won-t-make-top-four/blt38867705683e6d59" target="_blank">consistency still proving elusive</a>.<picture><source srcset="https://assets.goal.com/images/v3/bltc2ca19d372349997/mudryk%20hair.jpg?format=webp" type="image/webp"><source srcset="https://assets.goal.com/images/v3/bltc2ca19d372349997/mudryk%20hair.jpg?format=jpg" type="image/jpeg"><img src="https://assets.goal.com/images/v3/bltc2ca19d372349997/mudryk%20hair.jpg?format=jpg" alt="Mykhailo Mudryk hair 2024" data-source="Instagram" data-copyright="Instagram" data-portal-copyright="Instagram" perform:prop="uuid:bltc2ca19d372349997;width:458;height:645"></picture>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Ex-Chelsea midfielder John Obi Mikel has said on his <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@ObiOnePodcast " target="_blank">Obi One Podcast</a>: “Mudryk, he needs to get his head right, he needs to – I was going to swear – he needs to f*cking get his head right because he's such a good player, pace, power, quick and good on the ball. But he needs to get his act right, he needs to forget about the whole hair, whatever, the tattoos no! Play f*cking football and win games.”

WHAT MIKEL SAID

Mudryk has accepted that challenge by undergoing a dramatic transformation ahead of the 2024-24 campaign. His long, bleached blonde locks have been shorn – with former Nigeria international Mikel responding to images on social media with a “let’s go” message.<picture><source srcset="https://assets.goal.com/images/v3/blt4654e03260392c77/mikel%20mudryk.jpg?format=webp" type="image/webp"><source srcset="https://assets.goal.com/images/v3/blt4654e03260392c77/mikel%20mudryk.jpg?format=jpg" type="image/jpeg"><img src="https://assets.goal.com/images/v3/blt4654e03260392c77/mikel%20mudryk.jpg?format=jpg" alt="Mykhailo Mudryk John Obi Mikel hair" data-source="Instagram" data-copyright="Instagram" data-portal-copyright="Instagram" perform:prop="uuid:blt4654e03260392c77;width:446;height:628"></picture>
