Boss Roberto De Zerbi does not want to let the England Under-21 star leave, though. Tottenham are set for an eventful end to a busy summer transfer window. Spurs have made a loan enquiry for Mykhailo Mudryk. De Zerbi’s men are trying to sign one more forward before Tuesday’s deadline and have missed out on Iliman Ndiaye to Manchester City. That has led to them asking Chelsea about Ukrainian Mudryk, who is free to play again after his drugs suspension. The 25-year-old has a good relationship with De Zerbi, having worked under the Italian at Shakhtar Donetsk.

Chelsea beat Arsenal to the £88million signing of Mudryk from Shakhtar in 2023. But between December 2024 and July this year, Mudryk was banned by the FA for violating anti-doping rules. He was handed an initial four-year suspension but all charges were dropped and he was allowed to play again in all competitions. Leeds have shown interest in borrowing him from Chelsea, where his minutes will be restricted under Xabi Alonso. Sunderland have been mooted as a possible option too. But now Spurs have entered the fray as we head into the final day of the transfer window. Spurs are in negotiations for Tosin Adarabioyo on loan from Chelsea too as a possible replacement for Kevin Danso, who wants to leave and is in talks to join Sunderland.
