Mykhailo Mudryk is nearing a loan transfer to Tottenham Hotspur, as the Ukrainian winger has expressed his willingness to work once again with Roberto De Zerbi.
Softfootball reports that Mudryk favors the move to Tottenham and has set aside interest from Leeds United and other clubs while he seeks an opportunity to collaborate with De Zerbi again.
Mudryk and De Zerbi previously teamed up at Shakhtar Donetsk, making their past connection a key element in Mudryk’s decision-making process.
Negotiations between Tottenham and Chelsea are ongoing, with only a few final details remaining before the loan agreement can be finalized.
Leeds has actively pursued Mudryk for nearly two weeks but has not made significant progress. Sunderland, Brentford, and Coventry have also shown interest in the Chelsea player, yet Mudryk’s inclination has firmly tilted towards Tottenham.
Softfootball has previously reported that Mudryk is keen to stay in the Premier League, with Chelsea open to loan offers to enable him to regain regular playing time following his reintegration into the squad.
Tottenham’s interest in Mudryk coincides with their pursuit of Tosin Adarabioyo. Initially, Spurs inquired about a loan, but they are now open to negotiating a permanent deal for the Chelsea defender, contingent upon also securing Mudryk’s loan.
This situation has been complicated by issues surrounding the Iliman Ndiaye transfer and the allocation of Tottenham’s loan options.
Several Italian clubs have also expressed interest in Mudryk, while RC Strasbourg remains a potential destination under consideration.
Mudryk joined Chelsea from Shakhtar Donetsk in January 2023 after a high-profile transfer struggle, but he has faced challenges in establishing himself as a regular starter at Stamford Bridge.
Mudryk is now believed to have given his backing to the move to Spurs, with final talks between the clubs anticipated to conclude soon.
The primary goal for the Ukrainian has always been to secure consistent Premier League action, and he seems poised to achieve that under De Zerbi at Tottenham.
