Mykhailo Mudryk Poised to Join Tottenham on Loan from Chelsea

Chelsea winger Mykhailo Mudryk appears close to securing a loan move to their London rivals Tottenham Hotspur. The 25-year-old, recently cleared to return to football after resolving his doping ban with the English FA and WADA, is expected to spend the 2026-27 season at Spurs.

The loan deal reportedly includes an option for Tottenham to buy, though the fee remains undisclosed. Mudryk will reunite with Roberto De Zerbi, Tottenham's head coach, who has been keen to strengthen his squad on the left side after missing out on Iliman Ndiaye, who joined Manchester City instead.

Chelsea have made Mudryk available for loan as chances in the first team under manager Xabi Alonso are limited this season. The move aims to help Mudryk regain match fitness and form by playing regular top-flight football.
