CHELSEA fans were left stunned with Mykhailo Mudryk’s bulked up body transformation.
The winger joined the Blues in January from Shakhtar Donetsk in a deal worth £88.5million.
Mudryk failed to hit the ground running in his first six months in the capital, not managing a goal in his 17 appearances.
But the Ukrainian looks to be returning as an all new man when modelling Chelsea’s new retro-themed kit.
Mudryk appeared buffed up and one fan reacted: “Ukrainian adama traore.”
Another added: “Mudryk really putting some time into the gym.”

One commented: “Is it just me or Mudryk looks jacked up?”
Mudryk, still only 22, will be among the Chelsea strugglers set for a fresh start under new boss Maurico Pochettino.
Pochettino must fix a bloated squad after Todd Boehly’s wild first year as owner, which included £606million worth of signings.
So the likes of Mudryk, Raheem Sterling and Enzo Fernandez must now step up to the plate.

Pochettino said: “Now is a new start, a fresh start, and they need to show their real quality.
“We must give them a chance to show they can cope with pressure at Chelsea and perform with the best.
“We can’t just blame the players, we need to see what is going on and why they are not performing in the way we expect.
“When all is clear, we cannot give excuses to them not to perform.”
