The 21-year-old is yet to make a senior appearance for the club, despite signing from J1 League club Kawasaki Frontale in July 2025.
Takai spent the second half of 2025-26 on loan at Borussia Monchengladbach, making eight appearances for the Bundesliga side before returning to north London.
The Observer's Rory Smith believes Tottenham shortlisted "three completely different profiles of players" in their search for another left winger.
As reported by BBC Sport's Chelsea reporter Nizaar Kinsella, the Blues have accepted an offer for Mykhailo Mudryk in the late stages of the summer transfer window.
"This transfer chain between Cody Gakpo, Iliman Ndiaye and Mykhailo Mudryk is interesting to me," Smith said on BBC Radio 5 Live's Monday Night Club. "They are all forwards who have played Premier League football, but that's literally the only thing they have in common.
"They might like the same soap operas - I have no idea - but other than that, it is really hard to see a pattern.
"Tottenham drew them up as their three contenders for the left wing spot, but they are all completely different profiles of players.
"These clubs spend so much money on analysts, data, information and expert scouts. If I was an owner, I would be asking: 'Have we not spent quite a lot of money on these smartest people in the room to spot bargains?'
"Fans have a different reaction to a player coming in for a bargain fee and doing well compared with a club spending a seventh of their entire revenue on a left winger.
"Nobody seems to be thinking any more, apart from the usual clubs."

Chelsea have accepted offers from Tottenham for winger Mykhailo Mudryk and defender Tosin Adarabioyo, as well as a bid from Italian club Como for goalkeeper Robert Sanchez.
The trio are now expected to leave Stamford Bridge, subject to agreeing personal terms, with Spurs keen to secure Mudryk, 25, and reunite him with his former manager Roberto de Zerbi.
The Ukraine international has not played a competitive match since November 2024 but returned last month after serving a suspension for taking the banned substance meldonium.
Mudryk previously played under De Zerbi at Ukrainian side Shakhtar Donetsk before moving to Chelsea for an initial £61m.
Spurs will also sign Chelsea defender Tosin Adarabioyo on a permanent deal to replace Kevin Danso, who is set to join Sunderland on an initial loan deal.
Manchester City have agreed a deal worth up to £65m to sign Iliman Ndiaye from Everton.
The clubs reached an agreement on a deal worth a guaranteed £60m plus a further £5m in add-ons for the Senegal winger.
The news comes after Tottenham agreed deals with Everton on Friday night for Ndiaye to join the London club, with Richarlison moving the other way in a separate transfer.
However, sources are indicating Richarlison failed to agree personal terms with former club Everton, who are understood to have made a £35m offer for the Brazil forward.
As a result, Tottenham have been unable to proceed with the Ndiaye transfer.
In an emotional statement on Instagram on Monday, Richarlison said: "After everything I've been through in the last few years, I've decided that never again will anyone decide my future for me.
"If they reach an agreement between Spurs and Everton, I will return to my beloved club.
"My intention was to go back to the place where I was very happy, yes, but the negotiations happened only in the way certain people wanted, and it will no longer be like that.
"Despite all this turmoil, I am under contract at Spurs and will remain at the club's disposal."

Here are some of your comments:
Simon: The gap left by Harry Kane remains the huge hole in our squad. We need a proven Premier League striker who can hold the ball up, get on the end of crosses and take his chances. Ivan Toney.
Mal: Time to get rid of Richarlison - not good enough. Marmoush will be a good investment.
William: We desperately need a world-class centre-forward who does not get knocked off the ball easily and who knows where the net is so we can actually play some crosses into the box rather than try to walk it in, forcing defenders to defend.
Kieran: I am not sure we placed enough weight on a top-class defensive midfielder. Why didn't we go after Bruno Guimaraes?

Image source, Getty ImagesWith the transfer window closing, the madness of the money spent is unfathomable and it is not just those super clubs.
Boards of directors dissect data, analyse algorithms and try to be as scientific and mathematical as possible. The results however appear stubbornly random for different clubs, some are ultra positive, others utterly negative.
Newcastle just about broke even with their sales and acquisitions this summer. They have lowered the average age, but also slashed the experience available for Matthias Jaissle to dangerous levels.
Meanwhile, Spurs splurged by spending a third of a billion pounds (and counting) on four players, even if they did scrape a chunk of that back on sales. The upshot was a 2-0 defeat at home to the travelling Toon Army.
The sample size is too small to judge though and with Roberto De Zerbi at the helm they might still come good after losing both opening games without scoring.
Spurs fans do however have the right to wonder, "why have we spent all this money and still haven't landed the striker we so obviously need?"
Reliable quality in the final third is what costs most just now, because it is such a scarce commodity.

Image source, Getty ImagesFormer Premier League striker Charlie Austin believes Tottenham's current form is "alarming", particularly when bringing the length of Roberto de Zerbi's tenure and the club's transfer window spending into the equation.
Tottenham have only won three of their past 23 league games on home soil, with the latest sucker punch coming in Sunday's 2-0 defeat by Newcastle United.
"They have been in the exact same position in the Premier League for the past two seasons," Austin said on BBC Radio 5 Live's Football Daily podcast. "But we all thought they would be a different proposition this year because they have spent money.
"The alarming side of it all is Roberto de Zerbi came in with six games to go at the end of last season, compared to Matthias Jaissle with two and a half to three weeks of pre-season under his belt - yet Jaissle has delivered two exciting performances.
"So it doesn't matter how much money you spend. As De Zerbi said: 'Money cannot buy mentality.' As an ex-professional footballer, I know it is something you cannot put a price tag on.
"They have all of these players in, but it is about gelling them now. It will take time, I really do understand that, but Tottenham, collectively, need to understand where they are at the moment."

Image source, Getty ImagesTottenham are in advanced talks to sign Iliman Ndiaye from Everton, with Richarlison set to move in the opposite direction.
Although a deal for Ndiaye is largely agreed between the two clubs, it remains unclear whether he will make the switch to north London, with Manchester City among the clubs to have expressed an interest.
Everton are open to selling Ndiaye, 26, after he rejected multiple contract offers and held talks with Saudi club Al-Hilal earlier this summer.
Meanwhile, Everton have agreed terms in principle to re-sign striker Richarlison after he told Spurs head coach Roberto de Zerbi "too many times that he wants to leave".
We asked for your thoughts after Saturday's Premier League game between Newcastle United and Tottenham.
Here are some of your comments:
Tottenham fans
Nigel: I thought the first half was good and everyone turned up, but we were outplayed by Newcastle's fantastic goalie.
Steve: Much of the same from last season. New signings need to gel, but how long that will take with Tottenham, you never know. There are no easy games in the Premier League and I feel sorry for the supporters, who have suffered for too long. You can see why Harry Kane moved on.
Robert: I am fed up with constant excuses from Spurs about poor performances. This has been happening for several years. There are no excuses for their lacklustre performances this season.
Martin: We normally do well at the start of a season and then fade away. Hopefully, these two defeats will dispel complacency and compel a more determined and humble attitude.
Newcastle fans
Richard: Wissa and Elanga are brimming with confidence at the moment and long may it last. The solidity that Gonzalez brings is going to be really important. A lot of work ahead but it's looking good.
Derek: Brilliant is all you can say. The two goals we scored were top class.
Karl: Fantastic start for the new manager after Eddie's exit and the loss of some huge players. The manager has come in and been a revelation. This is a guy who is a perfect fit for our emotional club and fanbase. Very optimistic for the new season and silencing some doubters.
Phil: I like the positive way Jaissle has approached the job. Key improvements from Elanga and Wissa, and what a signing Gonzalez is. He has a real eye for a pass and, on Saturday's evidence, is a more than adequate replacement for Tonali. I'm still concerned about the roles of Barnes and Woltemade in the team. However, a brilliant team performance from the lads, which bodes well for the rest of the season.

Image source, Getty ImagesTottenham manager Roberto de Zerbi said he was "not angry" and there was "no panic" after his side's second loss in two games - but it was a depressingly familiar story for the club's fans.
With more than £300m spent in the summer, Spurs fans were expecting a push to get back into Europe, having won the Europa League two seasons ago and been in the last 16 of the Champions League in March.
Instead, in the Premier League it is played two, lost two, scored none, 20th out of 20.
Former Tottenham goalkeeper Joe Hart was not as positive about Spurs' performances and said: "The frustration in the stadium, and among the fans, will be they are looking at that Spurs team and wondering what they are trying to achieve.
"When you see a Newcastle side who have been through massive change over the summer - and a more difficult change than Spurs have - it's hard as in two games you can clearly see what [Newcastle boss] Matthias Jaissle is trying to do. The players are on board with it and they are flying.
"The concern for Tottenham is they can't say the same. But there's been a lot of change and it's not easy to bed in that many players under so much pressure.
"Hardly anyone has been able to find the remedy at the club so it's not like it's an easy fix. They've not just suddenly fallen off a cliff, they've been struggling in the league for a while.
"Roberto de Zerbi needs to get his new players to settle in quickly as the Premier League comes at you so fast, and it feels like his team are second-guessing everything at the moment."

Image source, Getty ImagesFormer Premier League goalkeeper Rob Green speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live after Tottenham's 2-0 defeat to Newcastle: "For Tottenham, the same questions that were last season are still here this season.
"Performances like this will indicate that they need a vast improvement from this set of players that have come into this club.
"They will need the characters as much as anything to turn this around.
"It doesn't take much for these Spurs fans to turn and the belief start to drain from the players and from the fans."
