The London neighbors are striking a deal which moves forward Mykhailo Mudryk from Chelsea to Tottenham.

The Blues are continuing to narrow the club’s bloated roster as the transfer window closes.
“Tosin started eight Premier League matches for Chelsea last season, with four of those coming in the opening month of the campaign,” The Athletic’s David Ornstein and Jack Pitt-Brooke detailed in an August 31, story titled, “Tottenham agree deal to sign Tosin Adarabioyo from Chelsea.” “He initially lost his place in the starting line-up as a result of a calf injury, and struggled to nail down a regular spot thereafter.
“… Tosin signed a four-year deal at Stamford Bridge upon joining the club on a free transfer from Fulham in June 2024. Newcastle had been tracking him and were hopeful of completing a move before he joined Chelsea, while West Ham United and Tottenham Hotspur had bids rejected for the defender in the summer of 2023.”
