Tottenham confirm deadline day signing that could end up costing them £75m

Wait 5 sec.

After securing deals for both Savinho and Omar Marmoush last week, Tottenham Hotspur have now announced a deadline-day addition to their forward line.While it was always clear that Spurs wanted to add another attacker to their squad, it has been a rollercoaster last few days for the Lilywhites in their pursuit of that elusive left-winger.Tottenham were shocked when their pursuit of Cody Gakpo fell through, and then on Monday, Spurs also saw their deal for Iliman Ndiaye collapse.In the end, the Lilywhites pivoted to a pacy winger, who Roberto De Zerbi knows well, and they have swiftly concluded a deal.Photo by Yu Chun Christopher Wong/Eurasia Sport Images/Getty ImagesTottenham announce the signing of Mykhailo MudrykReports revealed late on Monday that Spurs had agreed a deal with Chelsea to sign Mykhailo Mudryk on a season-long loan deal.It has subsequently emerged that Tottenham have also inserted an option to buy Mudryk next summer for £75m.The North London club have now officially confirmed that the former Shakhtar Donetsk man has arrived from West London on transfer deadline day.Spurs wrote: ‘We are delighted to announce the signing of Ukraine international forward Mykhailo Mudryk on a season-long loan.‘A skilful and exciting forward, the 25-year-old joins us from Chelsea after previously working with Head Coach Roberto De Zerbi during his time at Shakhtar Donetsk.’Spurs fans need to give Mudryk a chanceBased on the reaction on social media, it is clear that this deal has not gone well with large swaths of the fan base.However, those who called for De Zerbi to be backed cannot now complain that the club have done so. The 25-year-old is a player that the Italian rates highly, and the Tottenham boss clearly believes he can get the best out of the winger.Mudryk was considered one of the best young players in the world just a few years ago, with Chelsea paying €100m (£88.8m) for his services, and given that it is a loan without an obligation to buy, there is not much risk involved for Tottenham.READ MORE: Latest Richarlison development could cause a frosty reception at Tottenham StadiumThe post Tottenham confirm deadline day signing that could end up costing them £75m appeared first on Spurs Web.
