Tottenham made a surprise acquisition of Mykhailo Mudryk (25) and Tosin Adarabioyo (28) from London rival Chelsea on the final day of the transfer window. Mudryk joined on loan, while Adarabioyo completed a permanent transfer.

The UK's "The Sun" reported on the 1st (Korean time) that "the two players, completely excluded from new Chelsea manager Xabi Alonso's plans, have ultimately moved to Tottenham."

Mudryk stated through the club: "I am truly delighted to join Tottenham. I am thrilled to reunite with Roberto De Zerbi, a coach I have worked with before. I am a player who contributes to both attack and defense using speed and creativity as weapons. Together with excellent teammates, I will create special moments that bring joy to the fans."

Adarabioyo also said: "The brave football pursued by Coach De Zerbi perfectly matches my style. From every day in training, I will instill a winning spirit to help the team reach the highest position."

De Zerbi, who previously coached Mudryk at Shakhtar Donetsk, welcomed the arrival of both players with great enthusiasm. Regarding Mudryk, he said: "He is a player who can instantly change the flow of a game with his speed and one-on-one dribbling ability. I plan to demand much from him to unleash his potential, and I am very happy to be working with him again."

Regarding Adarabioyo, he described him as "a tough defender who can withstand the pressure of the highest stage," adding: "I was deeply impressed by his passion and mental strength. Fans will soon see his true value."

Notably, Mudryk is now risking his career to restore his reputation through this loan move to Tottenham. In October 2024, he tested positive for the banned substance meldonium in a doping control and received a severe four-year suspension. At the time, Mudryk strongly denied intentional use, citing contaminated supplements as the cause. Following an appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), he was granted a dramatic return approval by the English Football Association (FA) this summer.

Mudryk's last official match appearance was in November 2024, when he scored against FC Heidenheim in a UEFA Conference League (UECL) game. After a long absence, he made his comeback in a pre-season friendly against Juventus last month, entering the field in the 37th minute of the second half and receiving a standing ovation from fans.
