Tottenham in talks to sign winger Mudryk on loan

Tottenham Hotspur are in discussions with Chelsea to sign winger Mykhailo Mudryk on a season-long loan. The 25-year-old Ukrainian international is eager to play in England's top flight following the resolution of his doping case with the Football Association. Mudryk, who joined Chelsea from Shakhtar Donetsk in 2023 for a reported £61 million, was provisionally suspended after testing positive for meldonium in October 2024.

However, he successfully appealed the four-year ban imposed by the FA, becoming eligible to return to action from 31 July. Tottenham's interest in Mudryk intensified after they made unsuccessful attempts to sign Everton's Iliman Ndiaye and Liverpool's Cody Gakpo. The North London club is now the frontrunner to sign the Ukraine player, who has not played a competitive match since November 2024.

Mudryk has expressed admiration for Chelsea's manager, Roberto de Zerbi, and is reportedly open to a move to Tottenham following their late entry into the race.
