Chelsea Set to Sign New Star Winger as Mudryk Faces Doping Storm

Chelsea Football Club are now moving forward with plans to bring in a major new signing for the left wing position, after their expensive Ukrainian winger, Mykhailo Mudryk, was charged by the English Football Association with an anti-doping rule violation.

The FA made it official in a statement, saying “Mykhailo Mudryk has been charged with Anti-Doping Rule Violations alleging the presence and/or use of a prohibited substance, in terms of Regulations 3 and 4 of The FA’s Anti-Doping Regulations.” 

Mudryk, who joined Chelsea in January 2023 for £62 million, has not played since November and remains suspended from all football activities while he waits for the results of his B-sample test.

The player himself has spoken out, insisting “I have never knowingly used any banned substances or broken any rules,” and that he is working with his team to find out what happened.

Chelsea have publicly supported Mudryk and the FA’s process, confirming that “all our players, including Mykhailo, are regularly tested,” and that both the club and player are cooperating fully with the authorities.

However, with Mudryk’s future uncertain, the club is not taking any chances and is already looking at new options for the left wing. Their main target is Jamie Gittens from Borussia Dortmund, a young and exciting player who has impressed in the Bundesliga.

Talks are ongoing, and the deal could be completed soon for a fee that is expected to be around the same region as Mudryk’s original transfer. Chelsea are also looking at Malick Fofana from Lyon, another highly rated young winger who has shown great promise in France.

The situation with Mudryk has forced Chelsea to act fast. Since he has been out of the team, Chelsea have managed to finish fourth in the Premier League and even won the Conference League, proving that they can still compete at a high level. But the squad has seen a lot of changes, with many players who were in the team with Mudryk now leaving or already gone, including Jadon Sancho and Cesare Casadei. The club is not waiting to see what happens with Mudryk’s case, and are instead pushing ahead with their plans for the new season.

If Mudryk is eventually cleared, it will still take him some time to get back to full fitness and form, and by then Chelsea could already have a new star on the left wing. The club’s need for a specialist in that position has been clear for some time, and the latest developments have only made it more urgent. Fans are now waiting to see who will be the next big signing, with Jamie Gittens and Malick Fofana both in the frame.

Chelsea’s decision to go ahead with a major new signing shows that they are serious about competing for top honours next season. The £62 million transfer green light for a new winger is a clear signal of their ambition, and supporters are excited to see what the future holds.

The club is not taking any risks with their squad planning, and are making sure they have the best possible options available for the new campaign. With the transfer window open, all eyes are now on Stamford Bridge to see who will be the next star to join the Blues. The message from the club is clear: they are ready to move on and build a team capable of winning more trophies.
