Tottenham have entered the race to sign Mykhailo Mudryk on loan from Chelsea, and the winger is said to want a Premier League move. Mudryk has not played a competitive match since November 2024, but Tottenham have made the most concrete move so far while Chelsea decide whether to let him leave.

Spurs' move for Mudryk

Ben Jacobs, writing on teamtalk.com, said Spurs had made a loan offer and that talks were underway. He added that Mudryk was giving Tottenham total priority and had told Chelsea he wants the move. The same report said he wants to stay in the Premier League.

That preference matters because other clubs have been in the frame too, with Leeds trying for almost two weeks without a breakthrough and Sunderland, Brentford and Coventry also considered. Tottenham are the side pushing hardest right now.

The Shakhtar link also helps explain why Spurs have gone there. Mudryk played 19 times under Roberto De Zerbi at Shakhtar Donetsk, scoring 2 goals and adding 9 assists. That output is not the headline here, but the assist tally shows why a loan move is being talked about in the first place.

He joined Chelsea for an initial £61m, so any temporary exit would be a pretty sharp change in direction for a signing that still carries a heavy price tag.

Chelsea's wider exit list

Chelsea's deadline-day business is not limited to Mudryk. The club have also been linked with movement involving Robert Sánchez, and BBC reporting has said Chelsea accepted offers from Tottenham for Mudryk and Tosin Adarabioyo. There is still uncertainty over how much of that activity turns into actual departures.

BBC also reported that Sánchez made two mistakes in Chelsea's opening Premier League match at Fulham, while the same round of coverage said Chelsea signed Como from Aston Villa for £7.5m. The reported links around Sánchez and Como point to a wider reshuffle rather than a single isolated move.

Chelsea previously valued Enzo Fernandez at £120m, another reminder that the club have not been shy about placing big numbers on their players, even when exits are being discussed.

Mudryk remains the central one to watch. He wants Tottenham, Tottenham have made the loan move, and Chelsea still have to decide whether to let a winger they signed for £61m leave without a permanent sale on deadline day.
