The 28-year-old defender joined the Blues in July 2024 from west London neighbours Fulham and made 70 appearances during his time at Stamford Bridge.
Tosin helped the Blues win the UEFA Conference League and FIFA Club World Cup during his two seasons at the club and struck seven goals.
Signed from Shakhtar Donetsk in January 2023, the Ukraine international has made 73 appearances for the Blues and scored ten goals.
Mudryk helped the Blues reach the Carabao Cup final during his first full season at the club and featured en route to our UEFA Conference League triumph.
We look forward to monitoring and supporting Misha throughout his time at Spurs.
Good luck, Misha.
It was the first time this London derby had been played outside of the capital as we went head-to-head in the Sydney Super Cup in Australia and as usual there was no love lost between the two sides, regardless of the venue, as shown by the red card received by Spurs defender Kevin Danso.
That came early in the second half, by which time Tottenham had gone ahead through Sandro Tonali's deflected shot and Chelsea had struck back to level the scores, when Estevao Willian headed in a Jamie Gittens cross at the back post.
After a number of late changes in personnel by the Blues, Tottenham's Richarlison eventually found a winning goal in added time, but the competitive nature of the match will serve Xabi Alonso's team well in their preparations for the coming campaign.
The Blues lost 2-1 at the Accor Stadium, with Richarlison tapping home in injury time for the ten men of Spurs to condemn us to defeat despite Estevao Willian’s fine finish to level the score.
Fofana started at the heart of defence with skipper-for-the-night Levi Colwill, and while the French defender was pleased to earn valuable minutes, he was left annoyed at our failure to stay unbeaten under Xabi Alonso.
‘I thought we played well but for sure, we need to kill the game off,’ the Frenchman declared after the game.
‘When they got the red card, that was when we needed to be more mature in our play and control the game. We will learn from this though and it’s exactly what pre-season is for.
‘We will analyse the game, look at where we can improve and take that into the next game.
‘Pre-season or not, we want to win. It was a physical game but you expect that from a local derby, even if it was just a pre-season match.
‘We’re disappointed to lose, of course, but it’s okay. This is what pre-season is about, and it’s about getting ourselves ready for the new season. That is what we’ll do.’
Fofana is enjoying life under Alonso and says he is excited to work with the Spaniard this season, while also highlighting how he feels following our return to match action.
‘I feel good,’ added Wesley. ‘The legs feel a little heavy but I’m glad to get around 70 minutes, and now it’s about recovering ready for the next game.
‘With Xabi, he’s been amazing with us. Of course, we know how good he was as a player, but as a manager, he’s been fantastic so far too. We are learning a lot from him, getting his ideas across and everything is going well so far.
The second fixture of our pre-season tour – and our final match in Australia – saw the Blues face off against a familiar opponent in the shape of Spurs. There was little indication that the game was a friendly in the opening exchanges, with several full-blooded challenges produced.
Tottenham broke the deadlock in the 17th minute, when a deflected effort from Sandro Tonali found the net. But Alonso’s side quickly responded as Estevao Willian headed home at the back post from a Jamie Gittens cross.
In the second period, Tottenham defender Kevin Danso was shown a straight red card for bringing down Joao Pedro, and that changed the pattern of the game.
The Blues had several chances, but were consistently denied by Antonin Kinsky in the Spurs goal. And, in the final minute of the game and with the Blues having made several changes, Tottenham grabbed a late winner through Richarlison.
‘It was an intense competitive game, for sure,’ reflected Alonso. ‘We wanted to win and to lose is not something we like, but it’s a pre-season game and we have missed a few chances.
‘In the first half, it was very competitive, really even, and in the second half we were close to scoring that [winning goal]. But it was a good pre-season game, great crowd and atmosphere, and we were unlucky to concede that late goal to lose.
‘In any game you think you can do better, but it is part of the process: to learn the things we can do better, the things we have done well, and the place we are now.
'It’s normal we have these moments. But the result is not the most important thing now; it’s the performance, it’s 75 minutes for many players, which was the plan and we respect that.’
The game at Accor Stadium wrapped up our time in Australia – the Blues will depart tomorrow for Hong Kong – and Alonso was appreciative of the support we have received down under.
‘It’s been fantastic,' he said. 'To have 80,000 people in this stadium, and to have a proper atmosphere and this electrifying noise, was top today.
‘We are thankful for the welcome and great support we have had during this week. Hopefully, we will come again in the next years and revisit, but we appreciate the support.’
