Mudryk joins Spurs on loan from Chelsea after doping ban ends

Tottenham Hotspur has signed Ukrainian forward Mykhailo Mudryk on loan from Chelsea for the 2026/2027 season, following his recent release from a four-year doping ban. The 25-year-old winger will be managed by Roberto De Zerbi, his former coach at Shakhtar Donetsk. De Zerbi expressed his excitement about Mudryk joining the team, stating that he will demand a lot from the player and that it is their responsibility to help him reach his best version.

Mudryk, who was suspended for four years after testing positive for a low concentration of meldonium in 2024, made only a few minutes' appearance for Chelsea during pre-season in August. The Ukrainian international, who was signed from Shakhtar Donetsk for £62 million in January 2023, last played an official match for his previous club in November 2024.
