Chelsea in talks with Leeds over Mykhailo Mudryk loan move | OneFootball

Ukrainian needs regular first-team football following doping ban

The Ukrainian is available for loan after returning to the Chelsea first-team fold.

However, it is understood a sale will not be considered by Chelsea this summer.

Standard Sport understands Leeds are engaged in early talks, but have already seen one offer rejected by Chelsea.

Leeds have already added an experienced winger to their squad this summer, in the form of Harry Wilson from Fulham, and they remain active in the transfer market.

Newly promoted Coventry City, managed by Blues legend Frank Lampard, have also expressed an interest in a loan deal.

It is believed that Mudryk would favour a Premier League loan over rival interest abroad, with Italian clubs also keen.

Chelsea are working to ship out a number of first-team players before the summer transfer window closes.

Crystal Palace are closing in on a season-long loan for the Blues’ centre-back Axel Disasi.

There are also a number of players available for sale, including striker Liam Delap - valued by Chelsea at £50million - and the central defender Tosin Adarabioyo.
