Former Ukraine international Oleksandr Aliyev insists Mykhaylo Mudryk has been overhyped at Chelsea.

Aliev feels Mudryk is struggling because of media hype around his 100m move from Shakhtar Donetsk.

The former Dynamo Moscow star told Gazeta: So, a star, you made him - journalists and correspondents, first of all.

"Mudryk is not a star and not the leader of the national team. He came to Chelsea, so what? Does he play? No, he doesn't.

"It's when he starts playing in a London club, starts demonstrating a high-quality game of a high level, and then it will be possible to call him a star."
