Mudryk and Grealish seeking loan revivals: Spurs & Everton as their safe havens

It was November 28, 2024, when Mykhailo Mudryk played his last official match. He scored in Chelsea's 2-0 win over Heidenheim in the UEFA Conference League, before being handed a lengthy doping ban shortly afterwards.The Ukrainian served 20 months of his suspension before reaching an agreement with the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) in July 2026, following his appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS). Under the agreement, his time served was deemed sufficient to satisfy his suspension, effectively lifting Mudryk's ban from competitive action.Now, it's time for him to try to get his career back on track. But not at Stamford Bridge, where he arrived from Shakhtar Donetsk in January 2023 for €70 million, but at Tottenham Hotspur on loan from Chelsea.A message from Misha 🤳 pic.twitter.com/VVoKfRWMjf— Tottenham Hotspur (@SpursOfficial) September 1, 2026 Even though it had little to do with the Blues, the ordeal the forward has just been through is definitely the toughest period of his career. No one can guarantee that his spell in North London will be any better, but still, if anyone has a motive to bounce back after serious hardships, it's Mudryk.He has joined Spurs on a season-long loan, with an €87.5 million option to buy, although he was nowhere near their primary choice. However, after failing to strike a deal with Liverpool for Cody Gakpo and losing the race with Manchester City for Iliman Ndiaye, they had to take a gamble on a less sought-after player, and eventually settled on Mudryk.Alongside the Ukrainian, Tosin Adarabioyo also replaced Chelsea's shirt with Tottenham's, but permanently, joining Spurs in a €11.65 million deal.City's rebuild completed: Enzo joins Etihad crew in a record £125m move!After the Cityzens signed the Senegalese and Enzo Fernandez, it became clear that there would be no room for Jack Grealish in Enzo Maresca's squad.The now-former England international returned to the same safe haven as last season, when he had fallen out of favour with Pep Guardiola, and joined Everton on loan.Jack has a message for you, Toffees!🤳🔵 pic.twitter.com/02XIigkXRJ— Everton (@Everton) September 1, 2026 A year ago, Grealish made the same move and enjoyed a decent campaign with the Toffees, registering two goals and six assists in 22 appearances, and making a significant impact on David Moyes' side.Now, he returns to Hill Dickinson Stadium, but unlike the last time, he won't get back to Manchester once his spell with Everton is over, as his contract with the Cityzens expires next June.Then, Grealish will be a free agent and, who knows, he might join the Toffees for the third stint – only this time, permanently.##NAJAVA_MECA_9930299##
