Sevilla take inspiration from Antony transferEyeing a move for MudrykChelsea flop serving doping suspension since DecemberFollow GOAL on WhatsApp! 🟢📱WHAT HAPPENED?
Mudryk has failed to live up to his significant potential since he moved to Chelsea from Shakhtar Donetsk for £89 million ($115m) in January 2023. To make matters worse, the Ukrainian was dealt a major blow to his career in December when he was hit with a provisional suspension after he failed a doping test. The 24-year-old is awaiting the results of a 'B' sample, and unless that comes back negative he faces a ban of up to four years – although he will be able to appeal his punishment to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).

, however, reports that despite Mudryk's suspension and uncertain future, Spanish side Sevilla are eyeing a loan move for the Blues winger in the summer.

The report also adds that Sevilla are drawing inspiration from city rivals Real Betis, who brought in Manchester United flop Antony on loan in the January transfer window. Like Mudryk, Antony miserably failed in the Premier League, but his game completely changed once he moved to Spain.
