Famous journalist Piers Morgan commented on the transfer of the Ukrainian winger Mikhail Mudrik to London Chelsea:
“We remind you that our American owner [владелец «Арсенала» – ред.] much richer than the American owner of Chelsea. In fact, Stan Kroenke’s wife is much richer than himself or Todd Boely. So I don’t quite understand how we were “financially intimidated” in connection with the loss of Mudrik.
My final thought on Mudryk is that it’s a little surprising to see a Ukrainian player flirt so enthusiastically with Arsenal and then at the last minute choose a club whose fans keep singing in support of one of Putin’s best friends. [Романа Абрамовича – ред.]».
Note that Piers Morgan is a fan of Arsenal. Mikhail Mudrik was matched to the Gunners to the last, but the footballer moved to London Chelsea.
Chelsea’s former president and owner is Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich, who was forced to sell the club to American businessman Todd Boeli due to sanctions imposed on Russian oligarchs over Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
Reminder that our American owner is a lot richer than Chelsea’s American owner. In fact Kroenke’s wife is a lot richer than either him or Todd Boehly. So not quite sure how we got ‘bullied financially’ into losing Mudryk. 🤔 https://t.co/oMVtFcarAg

My final thought on Mudryk is that it’s a tad surprising to watch a Ukrainian player flirt so enthusiastically with Arsenal and then opt at the last minute for a club whose fans continue to chant support for one of Putin’s best mates.
