Their attempts to land Cody Gakpo and Iliman Ndiaye did not succeed, leaving Mudryk as the late deadline-day solution.<\/p>\n<p>The 25-year-old has spent two years without regular action and will now head to north London in search of the minutes that were unlikely to come at Chelsea. The loan gives him a chance to reset after a long spell on the sidelines.<\/p>\n<p>Following the announcement, De Zerbi said: \u201cHaving worked with Misha earlier in his career, I know exactly what he can bring to our team,\u201d De Zerbi said following the loan announcement. \u201cHe has the quality to change a game with his speed and ability in one-vs-one situations, and is an exciting, attacking talent.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The deal is also understood to include a non-mandatory buy option valued at a reported $101.3 million (\u00a375 million). Should Tottenham choose to make the move permanent after a strong loan spell, Chelsea would still turn a profit on the $75 million they paid when they beat Arsenal to his signing.<\/p>\n<p>For Chelsea, the arrangement underlines how far Mudryk has fallen out of the picture. For Tottenham, it is a low-risk chance to add a player with the pace and directness they have been looking for.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mudryk has joined Tottenham on loan, with Chelsea still able to profit if Spurs later buy him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":18934,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[190,187],"tags":[59,180,182],"class_list":["post-18935","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-chelsea","category-tottenham-hotspur","tag-featured","tag-player-news","tag-transfers"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18935","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=18935"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18935\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/18934"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=18935"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=18935"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=18935"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
