According to an old video making rounds on Twitter, the Ukrainian international was seen in a basketball jersey and a Nike headband dancing with a friend, and the video transitioned into him wearing a black top and spectacle.

Mudryk re-shares Chelsea fans chant

Sports Brief earlier reported that the former Shakhtar Donetsk forward re-shared a video of Chelsea fans chant mocking Arsenal fans over his transfer on his Instagram story.

The away fans at Anfield were chanting a specially composed song for him, which mocked Arsenal with the claim that they missed out on the forward because they have not won the UEFA Champions League before.

He will have a chance to go against the Gunners on April 29 when Chelsea travel to the Emirates Stadium to play the league leaders. Arsenal won the first leg at Stamford Bridge 1-0.
