Mykhailo Mudryk is being linked with a move to Leeds on loan, but Chelsea still need to be persuaded it’s the right loan.

It’s been an impressive few days for Chelsea in terms of outgoing business, with a number of deals wrapped up for players.
However there’s one case which we’re not getting many updates on. Mykhailo Mudryk still needs a place on loan for the season. Leeds have consistently been put in the mix, but so far Chelsea aren’t sure the Ukraine international will get enough minutes there.
The fact that Wilfried Gnonto is now being linked with a move to Fiorentina is encouraging, as it would create more chances for Mudryk.
Mykhailo Mudryk’s preference remains to stay in England despite the option of a Strasbourg loan.

Chelsea yet to be convinced by Leeds’ merits
We’re still not sure the Blues will be convinced by Leeds’ offer. The fact that the Whites play with wing backs makes minutes hard to come by for a winger like Mudryk. Unless they intend to use him centrally, or as a wing back, he could end up on the bench, which is the one thing everyone wants to avoid.
However if Mudryk really does want to stay in the Premier League and other teams don’t get serious with their offer soon, the Blues may well end up accepting that this is the best they’ll get with so little time left.
