Chelsea fans are concerned that boss Mauricio Pochettino has \u2018jinxed\u2019 Mykhailo Mudryk after he gifted the Blues winger a copy of his book from his Tottenham Hotspur days. <\/p>\n

Pochettino returned to English football at the beginning of the season to replace Graham Potter as Chelsea\u2019s latest permanent manager and the club\u2019s third since Todd Boehly took control of the club last year. The Argentine previously managed Southampton and Tottenham Hotspur across seven years in England before a spell in charge of PSG. <\/p>\n

The 51-year-old boss led an attacking and exciting Spurs team between 2014 and 2019, but he was unable to land a trophy and following a poor start to the 2018\/19 season \u2013 he was sacked. And Chelsea fans are now concerned that he\u2019s brought his \u2018Spurs curse\u2019 to Chelsea after giving Mudryk an \u2018odd\u2019 gift. <\/p>\n

Pochettino posed alongside Mudryk, who ended his wait for his first Chelsea goal on Monday in the Blues' 2-0 away win against Fulham, with the pair holding a copy of Poch\u2019s book \u201cBrave New World \u2013 Inside Pochettino\u2019s Spurs,\u201d which was released in 2017.<\/p>\n

Fans took to Twitter as they reacted to the gesture from Pochettino, with one saying: Such an odd gift, but maybe it helps him out.\u201d A second added: \u201cMudryk and Pochettino is what we thought Mount and Lampard would become!\u201d<\/p>\n

But some Chelsea fans were left perplexed by the gift, hoping that the \u2018Spurs trophy curse\u2019 wouldn\u2019t now 'jinx' the Blues as well. One fan wrote: \u201cHe has jinxed the poor lad with his gruesome horrendous spell at Spurs without a single title,\u201d with a second adding: \u201cImagine your gaffer giving you a book about how he made your club\u2019s biggest rivals a good team\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

Mudryk\u2019s endeavour in his early Chelsea career saw him finally rewarded with his first goal for the club which came from a well-taken finish just 18 minutes into only Chelsea\u2019s second Premier League win of the season. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Pochettino spoke about the impact the goal could have on Mudryk, he said: \u201cWe need to understand that young people need time and need to settle. It\u2019s about adaptation. It\u2019s a big change when Mudryk arrived here and when you arrive at a team, it\u2019s not easy to settle in a team that isn\u2019t solid.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe wasn\u2019t the cherry on the cake, they needed to add something to the team. It\u2019s about time, having patience, trusting these young talented players, building confidence.\u201d<\/p>\n
