Mykhailo Mudryk Joins Tottenham on Season-Long Chelsea Loan
Mykhailo Mudryk is moving from Chelsea to Tottenham for one season.
This is called a loan, so he will play for Tottenham temporarily.
Mudryk is a football player from Ukraine.
He previously worked with Tottenham manager Roberto De Zerbi at Shakhtar Donetsk.
Mudryk said he is excited to train and play again with De Zerbi.
His time at Chelsea was interrupted after a banned-substance issue.
He received a four-year suspension, but the suspension was lifted after an appeal.
Tottenham hope he can help after losing their first two Premier League matches.
Tottenham Hotspur signed Chelsea winger Mykhailo Mudryk on a season-long loan before Tuesday’s transfer deadline.
The 25-year-old Ukrainian joined Chelsea from Shakhtar Donetsk in January 2023 for a reported €100 million deal.
Mudryk’s Chelsea career stalled after an adverse finding for the banned substance meldonium in 2024.
His four-year Football Association suspension was lifted in July after he appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
Mudryk will reunite with Tottenham manager Roberto De Zerbi, who previously coached him at Shakhtar Donetsk.
