Premier League
Tottenham Hotspur has reached a definitive agreement with Chelsea to incorporate defender Tosin Adarabioyo for 7 million pounds fixed plus variables, and winger Mykhaylo Mudryk on loan with a non-obligatory purchase option. Two clear moves in the Tottenham transfer market.
The team managed by Roberto De Zerbi thus completes two key incorporations from Stamford Bridge before the market closes, in a double operation between direct rivals that had not seen direct player transfers from the first team since 2009.
Adarabioyo strengthens Tottenham's defense for 7 million
The arrival of Tosin Adarabioyo at Tottenham is structured as a permanent transfer for 7 million pounds fixed plus variable bonuses. The 28-year-old center-back, free to undergo the medical examination, will sign after not being called up by Xabi Alonso in the first three official matches for Chelsea.

Adarabioyo, trained at Manchester City and signed on a free transfer from Fulham in June 2024, only managed 8 starts in the Premier League last season due to a calf injury. His addition covers the imminent departure of Kevin Danso, who has formally requested a transfer to De Zerbi.
The move eases the defensive overpopulation at Chelsea, which had up to 10 center-backs in the squad at the beginning of August 2026.
Mykhaylo Mudryk arrives on loan after rejecting Leeds
Mykhaylo Mudryk will play on loan at Tottenham from Chelsea with full payment of his salary and a non-mandatory purchase option at the end of the season. The operation reunites the Ukrainian winger with De Zerbi, under whom he achieved 2 goals and 9 assists at Shakhtar Donetsk during the 2021-22 season.
Chelsea rejected a formal loan proposal from Leeds United on August 21, a club that, along with Strasbourg, showed interest in the forward. Mudryk, without competitive minutes since November 2024, obtained authorization from the FA and WADA on July 31 to resume training after resolving an anti-doping violation.

The arrival of Mudryk meets the search for a left-footed attacker at Tottenham, after considering Cody Gakpo and Iliman Ndiaye. The Spurs thus exceed 300 million pounds invested in this summer window, adding these names to the signings of Sávio and Omar Marmoush.
The next formal step for Tottenham will be the medical examination of Adarabioyo and the final signing of personal terms with Mykhaylo Mudryk, aiming to register both players before the definitive closure of the transfer window.
