Chelsea must be patient with winger Mykhailo Mudryk and see how he performs over the long term, says former Blues striker Andriy Shevchenko.
Mudryk, 22, joined Chelsea from Shakhtar Donetsk in an £89m deal in January and has one assist and no goals from six Premier League games so far.
"Chelsea have bought a talented player when he is very young, for the future," said Shevchenko.
"He's just starting his path in a massive football career."
Mudryk, who signed an eight-and-a-half-year deal at Chelsea, is in Ukraine's squad for their Euro 2024 qualifier against England on Sunday.
