Ukrainian football star Mudryk set to join Tottenham from Chelsea on loan

Ukrainian footballer Mykhailo Mudryk is expected to join Tottenham Hotspur on loan from Chelsea, according to a report by football insider Fabrizio Romano on September 1. The 25-year-old winger's transfer will be on loan with an option to purchase him for £75 million ($101.5 million), though this option is not obligatory.

Tottenham's head coach Roberto De Zerbi, who previously worked with Mudryk at Shakhtar Donetsk, will oversee the Ukrainian player's future at the north London club. On July 31, the English Football Association and the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) lifted Mudryk's ban, which had been imposed after a failed doping test for the substance meldonium in December 2024.

Following the lifting of the ban, Mudryk returned to football immediately and even played in a friendly match against Juventus in Hong Kong, marking his first match since November 2024.
