  "account": "Tottenham's head coach Roberto De Zerbi has expressed his belief that newly signed Ukrainian winger Mykhailo Mudryk has the potential to become a key player for the London club. De Zerbi, who previously coached Mudryk at Shakhtar Donetsk, is confident in the player's abilities and promised to push him to reach his full potential. Tottenham has loaned Mudryk from Chelsea on a deal that includes an option to buy him for £75 million. The 25-year-old, who made 19 appearances for Shakhtar during the 2021-22 season, scored two goals and provided six assists. De Zerbi praised Mudryk's work ethic and form, describing him as someone like a son to him. After Mudryk's suspension for violating anti-doping rules was lifted in August, he joined Chelsea for their preseason training camp in Hong Kong and played in a friendly against Juventus. Mudryk's first match since November 2024 was under De Zerbi at Tottenham.",
