Chelsea agree deals for Mudryk, Adarabioyo and Sanchez

Chelsea have accepted bids from Tottenham for Mudryk and Adarabioyo and a loan offer from Como for Sanchez as the clubs prepare for player exits.

Chelsea agree deals for Mudryk, Adarabioyo and Sanchez

Chelsea have signed off on transfer bids from Tottenham Hotspur for winger Mykhailo Mudryk and centre‑back Tosin Adarabioyo, while Italian side Como have put forward a proposal for goalkeeper Robert Sanchez.

Both players are now set to leave Stamford Bridge once personal terms are agreed. Mudryk, 25, returns to a manager he previously worked with at Shakhtar Donetsk – Roberto de Zerbi – who is currently in charge at Spurs. The Ukrainian international has not featured competitively since a November 2024 suspension for meldonium, but has been cleared to play since July. He originally arrived at Chelsea for an initial £61 million fee. Tottenham near season‑long loan for Chelsea winger Mykhailo Mudryk

Adarabioyo, 28, will join Tottenham on a permanent basis, providing cover after Kevin Danso’s loan move to Sunderland. The defender’s departure follows a season in which he struggled for regular minutes at Chelsea.

Como, who earlier secured Trevoh Chalobah for £31 million, have agreed a season‑long loan for Sanchez. The 28‑year‑old keeper was made available after two costly errors in Chelsea’s opening league fixture at Fulham. To replace him, the Blues have completed the signing of Argentine goalkeeper Emiliano Martínez from Aston Villa for £7.5 million.

Enzo Fernandez remains on the periphery, with reported interest from Manchester City but no formal offer. Any exit would hinge on Chelsea receiving a substantial fee, the club having previously valued the midfielder at £120 million.
