TOTTENHAM have announced the signing of Mykhailo Mudryk from Chelsea.
The Ukraine international has joined Spurs from their bitter rivals on loan until the end of the season.
Mudryk joins the north Londoners after being deemed surplus to requirements by new Blues boss Xabi Alonso.
And he’s champing at the bit to get playing regular first-team football for the big summer spenders.
The 25-year-old winger said of his move across the capital: “It’s a great feeling.
“I can’t wait to start training and playing for the Club, and I’m so excited to be reunited with Roberto De Zerbi.
“I’m a player who brings speed and creativity, and I want to help in both the offensive and defensive areas.
“I want to make the fans excited.
“I can see it’s a strong squad here with good players, and I’m looking forward to sharing a pitch and special moments with them.”
De Zerbi, who coached Mudryk during his time in charge of Shakhtar Donetsk, is delighted to have the speedster in his squad this season.
