In the past, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thechelseachronicle.com\/tag\/frank-lampard\/\">Lampard<\/a> has even commented on his finishing.<\/p>\n<p>The Ukrainian is someone the Coventry boss knows well after they spent some time working together at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thechelseachronicle.com\/club\/\">Chelsea<\/a> back in the 2022\/23 season.<\/p>\n<p>When <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thechelseachronicle.com\/news\/we-havent-seen-that-frank-lampard-says-chelsea-actually-have-an-amazing-finisher-in-their-squad\/?utm_source=chatgpt.com\">Lampard was asked about Mudryk<\/a> the following campaign, he said: \u201cPace is a huge strength and technical ability when he dribbles and his finishing. We used to train a lot and he\u2019s a compulsive finisher, in a positive way, he\u2019s out after training and he wants to shoot. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s a very good finisher and I know we haven\u2019t seen that but you have to come back and say that this young boy has moved into the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thechelseachronicle.com\/tag\/premier-league\/\">Premier League<\/a> and it\u2019s different.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A move to another Premier League club where he would get the chance to work under someone he already knows could be perfect for Mudryk.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thechelseachronicle.com\/columnist\/the-perfect-loan-destination-for-mykhailo-mudryk-as-chelsea-star-returns-from-ban\/\">Mudryk joining Strasbourg on loan<\/a> would not be a bad idea either. Ligue 1 is a strong division and Chelsea would be able to keep a close eye on him given their close connection to their sister club.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-getty-images-media\">\n<div><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 991px) 100vw, 800px\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn1.thechelseachronicle.com\/uploads\/17\/2026\/08\/GettyImages-1258023083-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Chelsea's English caretaker manager Frank Lampard (L) shakes hands with Chelsea's Ukrainian midfielder Mykhailo Mudryk (R)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn1.thechelseachronicle.com\/uploads\/17\/2026\/08\/GettyImages-1258023083-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn1.thechelseachronicle.com\/uploads\/17\/2026\/08\/GettyImages-1258023083-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn1.thechelseachronicle.com\/uploads\/17\/2026\/08\/GettyImages-1258023083-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn1.thechelseachronicle.com\/uploads\/17\/2026\/08\/GettyImages-1258023083-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn1.thechelseachronicle.com\/uploads\/17\/2026\/08\/GettyImages-1258023083-1140x760.jpg 1140w, https:\/\/cdn1.thechelseachronicle.com\/uploads\/17\/2026\/08\/GettyImages-1258023083-750x500.jpg 750w\"\/><\/div><figcaption title=\"Chelsea's English caretaker manager Frank Lampard (L) shakes hands with Chelsea's Ukrainian midfielder Mykhailo Mudryk (R) as he leaves the game, substituted during the English Premier League football match between Manchester United and Chelsea at Old Trafford in Manchester, north west England, on May 25, 2023.

Before his ban, his record in front of goal was not the greatest.<\/p>\n<p>In 73 appearances for Chelsea, Mudryk has scored just 10 goals. In the Premier League, he has only found the back of the net on five occasions.<\/p>\n<p>Lampard clearly feels that the Ukraine international can finish. If he joins Coventry this summer, hopefully Super Frank can help him transfer what he does on the training ground to actual football matches.<\/p>\n<p>It is interesting that Mudryk has suitors after such a long absence. People in the game clearly rate the former Shakhtar Donetsk man, who will be desperate to get his career back on track, be it at Chelsea, Coventry or somewhere else.<\/p>\n<div class=\"see-more-wrapper lazy see-more-open see-more-blank extra-content\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.thechelseachronicle.com\/throwbacks\/what-frank-lampard-once-said-about-mykhailo-mudryks-finishing-as-coventry-city-eye-loan\/none\" data-type=\"subscribe\">\n<div class=\"see-more subscribe\">\n<figure class=\"newsletter\">\n<div><svg class=\"loading\" width=\"118\" height=\"36\" viewbox=\"0 0 118 36\"><use href=\"#dots-svg\"\/><\/svg><\/p>\n<div class=\"signup\"><span class=\"hf\">Join Our Newsletter<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Receive a digest of our best Chelsea content each week direct to your mailbox<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><script>grvLoadAnalytics = () => {(function(d,s,i){var f=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0],j=d.createElement(s);j.async=true;j.src=\"https:\/\/www.googletagmanager.com\/gtag\/js?id=\"+i;f.parentNode.insertBefore(j,f);})(document,'script','G-E7VRWQHDP6');(function(d,s,i){if(!\/callback=in\/.test(window.location.search)){var e=d.createElement(s);var n=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];e.type=\"text\/javascript\";e.async=true;e.src=\"https:\/\/static.chartbeat.com\/js\/chartbeat.js\";n.parentNode.insertBefore(e,n);}})(document,\"script\",\"G-E7VRWQHDP6\");(function(){let s=document.createElement(\"script\");s.async=true;s.dataset.domain=\"thechelseachronicle.com\/MFj4XQ\";s.src=\"https:\/\/api.publytics.net\/js\/script.manual.ping.min.js\";document.getElementsByTagName(\"head\")[0].appendChild(s);})();if(!\/callback=in\/.test(window.location.search)){setTimeout(function(){!function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s){if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window,document,'script','https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');fbq('init','663509325503632');fbq('track','PageView');fbq('track','ViewContent',{content_name:'What Frank Lampard once said about Mykhailo Mudryk&#8217;s finishing as Coventry City eye loan',content_category:'Throwbacks',content_ids:[379526,\"frank-lampard\",\"mykhailo-mudryk\"],content_type:'post',});},3000);}}<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thechelseachronicle.com\/throwbacks\/what-frank-lampard-once-said-about-mykhailo-mudryks-finishing-as-coventry-city-eye-loan\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Add as preferred source on Google Chelsea winger Mykhailo Mudryk may not have to wait&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":243,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pagelayer_contact_templates":[],"_pagelayer_content":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-242","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-chelsea"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/footballars.xyz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/242","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/footballars.xyz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/footballars.xyz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/footballars.xyz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/footballars.xyz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=242"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/footballars.xyz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/242\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/footballars.xyz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/243"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/footballars.xyz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=242"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/footballars.xyz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=242"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/footballars.xyz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=242"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
