Tottenham pursues season-long loan deal for Chelsea winger Mykhailo Mudryk
Summary

Tottenham has entered negotiations to acquire Mykhailo Mudryk from Chelsea on a season-long loan agreement. The 25-year-old winger remains available for selection after his doping case was resolved last month, allowing him to return to competitive play for the first time since November 2024. Although Chelsea previously engaged in talks with Leeds regarding the player, Tottenham currently maintains the position of favorite to secure his services. The north London club has pursued multiple attacking targets this window, including Iliman Ndiaye and Cody Gakpo, while also expressing interest in Chelsea defender Tosin Adarabioyo. Mykhailo Mudryk holds a previous working relationship with Roberto de Zerbi, which is reportedly influencing his openness to the move. The Ukrainian international, who joined Chelsea in 2023, is currently working toward a return to regular match fitness.
