Mykhailo Mudryk Poised for Loan Move from Chelsea to Tottenham
Chelsea winger Mykhailo Mudryk is close to securing a loan move to their London rivals Tottenham Hotspur. The 25-year-old Ukrainian was recently cleared to return to competitive football following the resolution of his doping ban by the English FA and the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA).
The Blues have made Mudryk available for loan, hoping he can regain match fitness and form, as opportunities in Xabi Alonso's first team have been limited this season. Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano reports that Mudryk is set to join Tottenham for the 2026-27 season on loan.
At Tottenham, Mudryk would reunite with manager Roberto De Zerbi, who previously worked with him. The loan agreement is expected to include an option to buy, though the financial details have yet to be disclosed.
Tottenham have been searching for a left-sided attacker after missing out on Everton's Iliman Ndiaye, who chose to join Manchester City instead. Mudryk's arrival could fill that gap in their squad.
