Chelsea Owner Todd Boehly Aims Subtle Dig at Mason Mount After Arrival of Mykhailo Mudryk

Mykhailo Mudryk is currently settling into his new surroundings in West London after sealing a huge deal from Shakhtar Donetsk.

 Chelsea beat Arsenal to the signature of the Ukrainian and unveiled him officially to the home support on January 15th at during halftime of the Premier League game against Crystal Palace. 

But even before the dust settles on Chelsea's latest recruit, Chelsea co-controlling owner Todd Boehly appeared to throw shade on Mason Mount. 

Mount has come under sharp criticism in recent times following Graham Potter's side's poor run of form. The midfielder has been blasted for his lack of ingenuity with his standing amongst Chelsea's social media fanbase taking a tumble.

Boehly, through his official verified Twitter account, did not make things easier for the England international after he liked a tweet that was trolling Mount. 

The tweet, from user @AlexisIsKavkas, shows a video of legendary Arsenal forward Thierry Henry during his days as Montreal Impact's Head Coach.

Henry is seen taking his side to adopt a one-touch style of passing to keep the game moving but a player fails to do so and Henry is livid. 

The video was captioned: 

"Mudryk to Mason Mount when another counter-attack breaks down." 

Boehly liked the tweet before unliking it moments later but the reaction had already been captured. The American was also spotted attending Twitter Spaces of Chelsea fans where he was 'adviced' on the kind of players he needs to go after.
