Chelsea boss Xabi Alonso said the club will not hurry their decision on Mykhailo Mudryk's future, with a loan move expected. The 25-year-old Ukrainian has not played competitively since November 2024, and Chelsea want him to get game time elsewhere. Chelsea has already rejected an offer from Leeds United, and won't accept permanent deals.
