Chelsea reject initial offer from Leeds for Mudryk

Chelsea have turned down an initial offer for Mykhailo Mudryk from Leeds, who want the winger on a season-long loan.

Discussions between the clubs are ongoing and the Ukraine international, 25, could yet end up at Elland Road.

He recently returned to action after serving a 20-month suspension following a positive test for the prohibited substance meldonium.

His ban was lifted in July, allowing him to feature during Chelsea’s pre-season preparations.

But he does not appear to be in new boss Xabi Alonso’s plans.

Neither does Axel Disasi, who is set to join Crystal Palace on loan.
