AI summary
Mykhailo Mudryk has joined Tottenham on loan from Chelsea, ending Leeds United's hopes of securing the Ukrainian winger. According to BBC Sport, Spurs moved quickly in late-window talks to land the 25-year-old, who reunites with Roberto de Zerbi, his former manager at Shakhtar Donetsk. Leeds had been the preferred destination and rejected two Chelsea offers during protracted negotiations, but were caught off guard when Spurs accelerated their pursuit alongside a separate deal for Tosin Adarabioyo.
Mudryk made his first competitive appearance in over 21 months as a substitute against Nottingham Forest this weekend. The loan includes a £75m option to buy, though exercising it is considered unlikely. Brentford also pursued the attacker but could not agree terms on Chelsea's valuation.
