Leeds United pursue loan deal for Chelsea winger Mykhailo Mudryk

Leeds United are the primary candidates to sign Chelsea winger Mykhailo Mudryk on loan before the transfer deadline. Negotiations remain ongoing as the Premier League club seeks a replacement for Wilfried Gnonto, who is expected to join Fiorentina. Mudryk prefers to remain in the Premier League and has rejected a move to Strasbourg. Head coach Daniel Farke intends to integrate a wide player capable of operating within his 4-2-3-1 tactical structure, though concerns persist regarding the player's lack of competitive action during the 2025/26 season. The winger returned to training under head coach Xabi Alonso following an anti-doping suspension but has not played in a competitive fixture for nearly two years. A final decision regarding the transfer is anticipated before midnight.
