Mykhailo Mudryk transfer: Tottenham sign Chelsea winger on loan

Tottenham have signed Chelsea winger Mykhailo Mudryk on loan until the end of the season.

As part of the agreement, Spurs have the option to turn the 25-year-old Ukraine international's move permanent for £75m.

The move reunites him with Spurs boss Roberto de Zerbi, who was his manager at Shakhtar Donetsk before his move to Chelsea in 2023.

"It's a great feeling and I can't wait to start training and playing for the club," Mudryk said.

"I'm a player who brings speed and creativity, and I want to help in both the offensive and defensive areas. I want to make the fans excited.

"I can see it's a strong squad here with good players, and I'm looking forward to sharing a pitch and special moments with them."

Mudryk resolved a doping case with the Football Association last month, but has not played a competitive match since November 2024.

Mudryk is Spurs' ninth signing of a busy summer that has seen them spend over £300m on transfers.

Tottenham are also expected to complete the permanent signing of Chelsea defender Tosin Adarabioyo on the deadline day.

"Having worked with Misha earlier in his career, I know exactly what he can bring to our team," said De Zerbi.

"He has the quality to change a game with his speed and ability in one-vs-one situations, and is an exciting, attacking talent.

"I will demand a lot from Misha and it is our job to help him find the best version of himself. If we do that then he can become a very important player for us. I am very happy he chose to come here, and I cannot wait to work with him again."

Chelsea had been in talks with Leeds and rejected at least one offer for Mudryk, but Spurs entered the race at a late stage after failing in attempts to sign Iliman Ndiaye, who has since joined Manchester City from Everton, and Liverpool attacker Cody Gakpo.

Mudryk took part in Chelsea's pre-season tour of Australia and Asia, where he made his return in a friendly against Juventus in Hong Kong.

However, he was not included in Xabi Alonso's squad for the Premier League victories against Fulham and Brighton, or the Carabao Cup win against Luton.

Mudryk scored 10 goals and provided 11 assists in 73 games in all competitions for Chelsea.
