Chelsea boss Graham Potter says he's delighted with the training ground form of 100m signing Mykhaylo Mudryk.

The winger is in line for his debut tomorrow against Liverpool.

Potter said, Really well. He's a young player, an exciting player, fantastic speed and excellent in one-vs-one situations. He can attack the backline and now we've just got to help him adapt to the Premier League and adapt to us. He's come from a mid-season break so hasn't played so much football recently. But he's been training well. So we'll assess him and see how much he can play at the weekend.

There's a chance. It's about how much he can do. 90 minutes? No, but there is probably a role for him at some stage of the game.

We've just got to help him and help everybody understand that he's come from a different country and a different league. So he has to adapt to us and to the competition. He is a young player that has a lot of potential, a lot of upside. He's also had some really good experiences already so he's an exciting player."

Asked about Mudryk being an Arsenal fan, Potter replied: He's come in and trained very, very well. He's happy to be here. All the other stuff I have no comment on. He's looking forward to his career here and is excited to get started."
