Mykhailo Mudryk was taunted by fans for his decision to join Chelsea in January instead of London rivals Arsenal.
The 22-year-old was taken to Stamford Bridge by the world’s biggest lenders for £88 million after weeks of arguments with the Gunners.
Mikel Arteta’s side grabbed Leandro Trossard in their dive back into the transfer bag, while Chelsea – who thought they had signed a ready-made star – regretted their purchase.
Mudryk will also ruin the promise, according to some Gunners fans, as he has won just three league games since entering the Premier League.
As Arsenal prepare for a return to Champions League football and look best placed to challenge Manchester City’s superiority this season.

In a video posted on TikTokcan the pair be seen mocking the 22-year-old, who appears to be stuck in some rather unhappy London traffic.
“Arsenal bro, Mudryk Arsenal,” said one fan. Your dream team. Come on, if you had played you would have won the Premier League.’
To his credit, the winger took the jibes in good spirits and even gave an affirmative nod when someone from the group predicted he would be the ‘best player in the world’.
If that were to be the case, Sunday’s cameo was no indication. The Ukrainian international has suffered another defeat as a Blues player after the disappointing 3-1 defeat against West Ham.
Mudryk’s exhibition covered all the aspects that Chelsea fans have come to hate about the big money signing. Bad decisions and missed opportunities.
The youngster is still awaiting his first goal for the club after netting both Ukraine’s top flight and, more impressively, the Champions League in the first half of last season.
New boss Mauricio Pochettino will hope to unlock the talent European heavyweights fought for his signature.
