'Miles difference in quality': Gabby Agbonlahor compares Mudryk and Martinelli

Speaking on talkSPORT, Gabriel Agbonlahor said: "When I watch Mykhailo Mudryk, and it might seem rude, but he would run into a mannequin if there was a mannequin on the pitch. 

"He runs into players if like the ball would go through them and he could sprint after it. It doesn't work like that. This is the Premier League. The defenders are clever. They know when to back off and give you some space.

"Even when he runs through one-on-one, you would never back him. It's hectic, they are not in control of the ball, and Arsenal fans must be thinking, 'Wow imagine if we had like signed him'.

"You look at Mudryk and Gabriel Martinelli, miles difference in quality. Martinelli rips past Ibrahima Konate [against Liverpool last week]. That's how you use your pace in the Premier League."

Mudryk was on the verge of signing for Arsenal in January 2023 before Chelsea came in with a much bigger offer at the last minute.

The Ukrainian winger ended up moving to Stamford Bridge where he has failed to even start justifying his £89 million transfer fee.
