Chelsea winger Mykhailo Mudryk is attracting interest from several clubs after becoming eligible to return to competitive football.
The 25-year-old is available again after the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) partially upheld his appeal against a four-year doping ban.
Mykhailo Mudryk is currently with Chelsea on their pre-season tour of Asia, where he is expected to complete preparations with the squad before making a decision about his future.
The Ukraine international is hoping to receive clarity by the middle of August.
He wants to know whether he will remain part of Chelsea’s first-team plans, leave on loan.
Several clubs are monitoring the situation, with Coventry City among the teams that have expressed interest in signing the winger. However, they are not the only club keeping a close eye on his availability.
Chelsea are taking a cautious approach before making a final decision.
The club wants to evaluate Mudryk’s fitness, sharpness and form after his lengthy absence from competitive action.
Once that assessment is complete, Chelsea are expected to hold discussions with the player to determine the best solution for both parties.
Mudryk joined Chelsea with high expectations and was regarded as one of Europe’s brightest young wingers.
His pace, dribbling ability and attacking flair made him one of the club’s most exciting signings.
However, his progress was interrupted by the doping case, leaving uncertainty over his long-term future at Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea believe the coming weeks will be important in deciding the next step in Mudryk’s career.
