Tottenham Hotspur have confirmed that Chelsea winger Mykhailo Mudryk has joined the club on a season-long loan.

Spurs have been keen on strengthening their attack this summer, and they have been trying to add players up until the transfer window's deadline at 11pm.

Liverpool's Cody Gakpo had been linked for months, though a deal ultimately failed to materialise, leaving Roberto De Zerbi searching for an alternative.

The Londoners emerged as a surprise suitor for Chelsea winger Mudryk, who has not played a competitive match since November 2024 due to a doping ban.

Spurs have now confirmed the arrival of the Ukrainian on loan for the rest of the season, with the club also having the option sign him permanently for £75m.

How will Spurs line up with Mykhailo Mudryk under Roberto De Zerbi?

Mudryk has primarily operated on the left side of attack, so he is almost certain to be used on that flank, especially considering the other additions Spurs have made this summer.

Winger Savinho can play on both sides of the pitch, but he has more often been deployed on the right of attack during his time in the Premier League.

Omar Marmoush struggled to claim a starting role at Manchester City, though he is at his best when playing in central areas.

The Egyptian could be used as the team's striker or as a partner to Dominic Solanke, while James Maddison is another option in central areas.

Tottenham transfer news: Is signing Mykhailo Mudryk a risk?

Considering that Mudryk has effectively missed two years of football, signing him permanently would be an immense risk.

Even the loan deal that Spurs have agreed could be problematic if he is expected to play a significant role as a first-team starter.

De Zerbi worked with the 25-year-old at Shakhtar Donetsk between 2021 and 2022, so perhaps the Italian boss believes he can adequately platform the winger.

Arsenal are reportedly considering a late move to hijack Tottenham's deal for Everton winger Iliman Ndiaye before Tuesday's transfer deadline.

Despite signing Christos Tzolis, the Gunners have continued to look for further attacking reinforcements and have been linked with moves for Julian Alvarez and Vinicius Junior this summer.

Ndiaye joined Everton from Marseille in the summer of 2024 and has since made 74 appearances for the club, scoring 17 goals.

Manchester City have also reportedly shown interest in the Senegal international, with Everton open to a deal that could see Jack Grealish move to Goodison Park in the opposite direction.

Tottenham are currently thought to be leading the race, with Spurs working to finalise an agreement and give Ndiaye the green light to undergo his medical.

According to Senegalese outlet Taggat (via The Sun), Arsenal have entered the picture and could now throw a spanner in the works.

The report claims that the Gunners have contacted Ndiaye's camp to gain a better understanding of his situation and could attempt to lure him to the Emirates before the transfer window closes.

Arsenal are looking to create room for further additions, with Gabriel Jesus and Gabriel Martinelli reportedly heading for the exit, with Barcelona and Al-Hilal respectively interested in the two Brazilians.

A move for Ndiaye would give Mikel Arteta another versatile attacking option, with the 25-year-old capable of operating on the right wing, playing on the left or featuring centrally as a number 10.

Despite spending heavily on a number of new arrivals, Roberto De Zerbi still appears to believe that his Tottenham squad lacks the depth required to produce consistent results.

Spurs have already strengthened their attack with the additions of Savinho and Omar Marmoush, but De Zerbi is reportedly still keen to add another quality attacker before the deadline.

Ndiaye's versatility would make him an attractive option, particularly given his ability to operate in several positions across the frontline.

Tottenham have also been heavily linked with Liverpool winger Cody Gakpo, who is valued at around £85m, although the Dutchman could potentially move to Manchester City instead.

With Arsenal now seemingly showing late interest, Tottenham may have to move quickly if they are to complete their deal for Ndiaye before the deadline.

Hello and welcome to Sports Mole's live Tottenham Hotspur transfer news blog on Monday, August 31!

The Lilywhites are busy dissecting their 2-0 loss to Newcastle United on Sunday, which exposed the need for further reinforcements before Tuesday's 11pm deadline strikes.

Today's Tottenham transfer headlines

Tottenham, Everton 'agree' Richarlison, Iliman Ndiaye swap

Kevin Danso talks 'reopened' after failed Sunderland bid

Tottenham transfer news today: What's happening on August 31?

Tottenham have reportedly agreed a deal in principle to sign Everton winger Iliman Ndiaye, with Richarlison set to move in the opposite direction as part of a separate arrangement rather than a straight swap.

Ndiaye is understood to have interest from Arsenal too, with the Gunners reportedly making late contact over his situation despite Tottenham's agreement already being in place, thereby presenting a late hijack threat.

However, should all go through as planned, Richarlison will return to a club where he scored 53 goals in his first spell, having been one of three players, alongside Kevin Danso and Pape Sarr, who manager Roberto De Zerbi confirmed have asked to leave.

Sarr is understood to have reached personal terms with Juventus over a proposed loan move, with the two clubs still negotiating the structure of a permanent obligation.

Danso's proposed exit to Sunderland, meanwhile, is back on after Spurs reopened talks having initially rejected the Black Cats' opening offer.

Sunderland are believed to be pushing for a permanent deal for the Austrian, who has featured in the EFL Cup but not yet in the Premier League this season.

Elsewhere, Tottenham defender Souza is about to complete a season-long loan move to Porto, with Spurs continuing to cover his wages until his scheduled return next June.

Tottenham Hotspur boss Roberto De Zerbi has revealed that Richarlison, Kevin Danso and Pape Matar Sarr have asked to leave the club.

Richarlison and Danso were included in De Zerbi's first two competitive squads of the season, with the latter scoring in the 5-1 win over Charlton Athletic in midweek.

However, they were both notable absentees from Saturday's squad for the 2-0 Premier League defeat to Newcastle United.

Pape Matar Sarr was also absent for a third consecutive game as he recovers from a minor injury issue.

Richarlison among three players seeking Spurs exit

Speaking after Saturday's defeat, De Zerbi revealed that the trio have all requested to leave the club before the end of the summer transfer window.

"Richarlison, I don't know," De Zerbi said. "He said too many times he wants to leave.

"Danso came to me two days ago and he said he wants to leave. Pape Sarr the same, but he suffered a small injury, but he is almost ready to train."

"I love these players, and they are great guys. I have very good relationships.

"But if they want to leave, they have to bring the economic solution to the club, and they can go, and we find other players."

Which clubs could offer wantaway trio late summer moves?

Richarlison has been linked with a return to Everton, who are searching for a new striker to compete with Thierno Barry and Beto.

Saudi Pro League side Al-Ahli have also been mentioned as a potential suitor for the Brazilian forward.

Meanwhile, Spurs have already rejected a loan offer from Sunderland for Danso, although it remains to be seen whether Regis Le Bris's side return with a fresh proposal before Tuesday's transfer deadline.

Out of the three players eyeing late exits, Sarr appears closest to getting his wish, having already reached an agreement with Juventus over personal terms.

The two clubs are believed to be in negotiations over an initial loan move with a purchase clause.

Fresh from securing their places in the EFL Cup third round in midweek, Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United face off in North London for gameweek two of the 2026-27 Premier League on Saturday evening.

The Magpies have won their last two top-flight trips to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium by a 2-1 scoreline, including their latest triumph in February of last season.

Match preview

Roberto De Zerbi’s expensively-built Tottenham Hotspur could not have made a poorer start to their Premier League campaign, with four new signings starting in a deserved 3-0 defeat at Brentford. However, any early-season anxieties were swiftly alleviated following an emphatic 5-1 EFL Cup win at home to Charlton on Wednesday.

New £85m signing Savio announced himself to the North London crowd with a goal and an assist as a second-half substitute, while Mikey Moore, Dominic Solanke, Kevin Danso and Ben Davies were also on the scoresheet to help Spurs set up a tricky third-round tie at Liverpool next month.

Attention now shifts back to the top flight as Spurs seek to avoid losing their opening two Premier League games since the 2011-12 campaign, while the Lilywhites last failed to score in their first two matches in the inaugural 1992-93 season.

De Zerbi will be confident that returning to familiar surroundings can spark an immediate resurgence, as Tottenham have won their opening home league matches in each of the last five seasons by an aggregate score of 14-1. Only once previously have Spurs enjoyed a longer run, winning their home opener 11 times in a row between 1923-24 and 1933-34.

However, Spurs have struggled to grind out positive results against Saturday’s opponents Newcastle in recent years, losing six of their last eight Premier League meetings (W1 D1) and failing to keep a clean sheet in any of their last 14 against the Magpies.

After being denied an opening-weekend Premier League win by Liverpool, conceding a 99th-minute penalty to draw 2-2, Newcastle survived a scare against Championship outfit West Brom to advance from the EFL Cup second round with a 3-2 victory at St James’ Park on Wednesday.

The Tyneside faithful were given an immediate boost prior to kickoff when Nico Gonzalez was unveiled as a new £50m signing, and the feel-good factor quickly translated to the pitch when fellow new recruit Bazoumana Toure scored his first goal for the club. His replacement at half time, Harvey Barnes, then netted two second-half strikes to seal the win and set up an enticing third-round clash with Millwall.

New head coach Matthias Jaissle has been “really pleased with the energy” generated by the Newcastle fans and has vowed to “entertain” them with positive performances from his youthful team this term, after a disappointing 12th-placed finish in Eddie Howe’s final year at the club last season.

Since the start of 2025-26, Newcastle have dropped more points from winning positions than any other Premier League team (29), while they head into their first away match of this term on Saturday having won just four of their last 22 top-flight games on the road (D6 L12).

However, the Magpies can take comfort from the fact that they have won more Premier League away matches against Tottenham than at any other opponent (13), securing victories in three of their last four visits to the white side of North London (L1).

Tottenham will be without Xavi Simons, Dejan Kulusevski, Wilson Odebert (all knee) Mohammed Kudus (thigh) and James Maddison (shoulder) due to injury, while Pape Sarr (thigh) is still a doubt.

However, De Zerbi could hand new signing Omar Marmoush his debut following confirmation of his transfer from Man City on Thursday, while Savio could be rewarded with his first start on the right flank after impressing in midweek.

Sandro Tonali became a club-record £100m signing for Spurs earlier this summer and he is expected to start in midfield against his former club Newcastle, potentially alongside Mateus Fernandes and Conor Gallagher.

New club captain Micky van de Ven and Pedro Porro both featured as substitutes in midweek and could be ready to start in defence on Saturday. The former could replace Marco Senesi and partner Dutch compatriot Jan Paul van Hecke at centre-back, while the latter may displace Archie Gray at right-back.

As for Newcastle, Dan Burn remains out with ankle ligament damage, while Joelinton (groin) and Tino Livramento (calf) are also unavailable for selection.

However, new signing Gonzalez could be handed his full debut in midfield, which would likely see either Lewis Miley or fellow summer addition Sean Steur drop out of the starting lineup.

After scoring the opener in the draw with Liverpool, Anthony Elanga has already scored more goals (one from two shots) this term than he managed in the whole of last season (zero from 17 shots). The electric winger is likely to start again on the right, while Barnes and Toure battle for a place on the opposite flank.

Tottenham Hotspur possible starting lineup:

Kinsky; Porro, Van Hecke, Van de Ven, Robertson; Fernandes, Tonali, Gallagher; Savio, Richarlison, Tel

Newcastle United possible starting lineup:

Hornicek; Dedic, Thiaw, Botman, Hall; Gonzalez, Miley; Elanga, Wissa, Barnes; Osula

We say: Tottenham Hotspur 2-2 Newcastle United

Taking into account that all 62 previous PL encounters between Spurs and Newcastle have produced at least one goal - making it the most-played fixture in the division’s history never to finish goalless - we expect an entertaining spectacle with plenty of goalmouth action at both ends.

However, with both teams possessing dynamic attacking units but still searching for complete defensive stability under their respective new managers, a thrilling and high-scoring stalemate looks to be on the cards, with the spoils ultimately shared in North London.

Manchester United are reportedly considering making a move for Freiburg striker Igor Matanovic in the closing stages of the summer transfer window.

The Red Devils are currently in discussions with Fiorentina over Joshua Zirkzee, with the Netherlands international potentially joining the Italian club on an initial loan deal.

Fiorentina are allegedly willing to pay a loan fee of €5m (£4.3m) for Zirkzee, who has found it difficult to show his best form for the 20-time English champions since arriving from Bologna in 2024.

A departure for Zirkzee would likely lead to Man United entering the market for a replacement, and according to Gazzetta dello Sport, Matanovic is on their radar.

The 23-year-old, who has also been linked with Tottenham Hotspur, scored 15 times in 50 appearances for Freiburg during the 2025-26 campaign.

Man United 'considering' late move for Matanovic

Matanovic is a 12-time Croatia international, and he has already been among the goals for Freiburg this season, scoring twice in three appearances, in addition to registering one assist.

The 6ft 5in striker has also played for St Pauli and Frankfurt during his professional career, while his overall record in the Bundesliga is 12 goals and two assists in 47 appearances.

Matanovic could provide competition for Benjamin Sesko at centre-forward this season, as a departure for Zirkzee would leave Man United short in the middle of their attack.

Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo can both operate in that position, but the former struggled as a striker in Man United's 2-0 loss to Hull City in the Premier League last weekend.

Man United vs. Ipswich: Who starts as the striker on Sunday?

Cunha, as mentioned, struggled as the centre-forward against Hull, so it would be a major surprise to see the Brazilian in that area against Ipswich Town on Sunday afternoon.

Mbeumo impressed in pre-season through the middle and is an option, although that will depend on Amad Diallo's fitness, with the Ivorian missing out through injury against Hull.

Sesko came off the bench against Hull after recovering from a shin issue, and it remains to be seen if head coach Michael Carrick deems him fit enough to start this weekend.

Carrick therefore has a big decision to make in the final third of the field, as the 20-time English champions look to bounce back from the two-goal reverse to Hull.

Tottenham Hotspur have confirmed the signing of Brazilian attacker Savinho from Manchester City in a deal that could fetch up to £85m.

The former Troyes youngster joins the Lilywhites for an initial £75m and departs Man City after registering seven goals and 16 assists in 84 appearances for the Sky Blues in all tournaments.

Savinho has become Spurs' seventh senior summer signing after Jan Paul van Hecke, Andy Robertson, Sandro Tonali, Mateus Fernandes, Martin Dubravka and Marcos Senesi, and his arrival takes Tottenham's spending for the current window to over £300m.

Meanwhile, Man City could end up making a total profit of just under £65m for the versatile winger, whom they brought to England for just £21.4m in the summer of 2024.

Speaking to the official Tottenham website, Savinho hailed new boss Roberto De Zerbi as one of the world's best managers and expressed his delight at joining after a drawn-out process.

Savinho's first words as Tottenham player after £85m deal confirmed

"It's taken a while but I'm very happy to be here. It's a wonderful opportunity at a brilliant club with one of the best managers in the world," Savinho told the club's media channels.

"As soon as I spoke to the Head Coach I knew I had to come. He told me he wants to help me reach the highest level, and I believe we can do that together, as a team."

De Zerbi also reacted to Savinho's arrival, outlining five qualities which make the South American a perfect fit for his side, adding: "Savio is a player who brings energy, imagination and quality in wide positions. He has the courage to attack defenders and the ability to change a game with his creativity.

"We’re very pleased to have him with us, and I’m looking forward to working with him, helping him continue to grow and seeing him bring his personality to the team."

Savinho could make his Tottenham debut in Wednesday's EFL Cup second-round match with Charlton Athletic, but a first appearance against Newcastle United in Saturday's Premier League battle is more realistic.

What shirt number will Savinho wear at Tottenham?

Shortly after unveiling their new £85m recruit, Tottenham revealed that Savinho would sport the number 17 shirt for the 2026-27 season.

The Brazil international previously donned the '26' during his time at Man City, but that number has been unofficially retired at Tottenham ever since club legend Ledley King called it quits in 2012.

Instead, Savinho takes the shirt formerly worn by Cristian Romero, who had the '17' in his possession for four seasons before departing for Atletico Madrid earlier in the summer window.

Moussa Sissoko, Andros Townsend, Kevin-Prince Boateng and Giovanni Dos Santos have also worn the '17' for Tottenham, as did legendary goalkeeper Ray Clemence during the 1983-84 season.

Tottenham Hotspur could be without up to eight players for Wednesday’s EFL Cup second-round clash with Charlton Athletic in North London.

Xavi Simons, Dejan Kulusevski and Wilson Odebert all remain long-term absences with knee injuries, while Mohammed Kudus is still recovering from a thigh problem and remains out.

Micky van de Ven, Pedro Porro (both fitness) and Pape Sarr (thigh) all missed Spurs’ disappointing 3-0 Premier League defeat to Brentford last weekend and are currently doubts for Wednesday, with the trio unlikely to be risked against Charlton.

James Maddison landed awkwardly on his shoulder after coming on as a substitute against Brentford and has emerged as a doubt. A start is therefore considered unlikely for the playmaker.

Roberto De Zerbi will look to freshen up his starting lineup in a few positions, with goalkeeper Martin Dubravka pushing to make his debut at the expense of Antonin Kinsky while defenders Kevin Danso and Destiny Udogie aim to earn a recall.

After making a substitute appearance against Brentford, Mateus Fernandes could be handed his full debut in centre-midfield alongside Rodrigo Bentancur – another pushing to return to the first XI – while Lucas Bergvall may get the nod over both Sandro Tonali and Conor Gallagher.

With Spurs light in the winger department at present, Mickey Moore and Mathys Tel are likely to retain their stating spots, but Dominic Solanke could be tasked with leading the line at the expense of Richarlison.

Tottenham Hotspur possible starting lineup:

Dubravka; Gray, Van Hecke, Danso, Udogie; Fernandes, Bentancur, Bergvall; Moore, Solanke, Tel

Seeking to bounce back from a bitterly disappointing opening-weekend Premier League defeat, Tottenham Hotspur welcome Charlton Athletic to North London for an EFL Cup second-round tie on Wednesday night.

The victors will enter the third-round draw taking place after the match, with those ties scheduled for the weeks commencing September 7 and September 14.

Match preview

After narrowly avoiding relegation from the Premier League last season, Roberto De Zerbi's expensively rebuilt Tottenham side endured a nightmare start to their 2026-27 campaign, as they suffered a deserved 3-0 away defeat against Brentford on Saturday.

Familiar failings were evident despite the pre-match optimism and the plethora of fresh faces included in Spurs’ side, and De Zerbi has since conceded that his squad are "not a team yet", lamenting that his players "didn’t fight the right way" against a ruthless Bees outfit.

The arrivals of attacking duo Savinho and Omar Marmoush are imminent, taking Spurs’ summer spending over £300m, yet it is in defence that concerns remain; the North Londoners have kept just two clean sheets in their last 18 competitive fixtures, while they also conceded in four of their seven pre-season friendlies.

Before playing host to Newcastle in the top flight on Saturday, Tottenham will be looking to claim their first home win of the new season against Charlton whom they have beaten in each of their last five meetings across all competitions by an aggregate score of 16-4.

Spurs’ last domestic cup triumph was the 2008 EFL Cup and they have since failed to progress beyond the fourth round in this competition on 10 occasions in the last 18 years. A fourth-round defeat to Newcastle was suffered last season, while they were eliminated in round two by Fulham on penalties in 2023-24.

Charlton finished 19th on their return to the Championship last season and they have since made a positive start to the new campaign, winning their opening two matches by 2-1 scorelines against Derby County and newly-relegated outfit West Ham United.

Over 59,000 supporters at the London Stadium expecting only one outcome between the Hammers and the Addicks last weekend, but it was the visitors who relished their underdog status and claimed a “magnificent win” in the eyes of head coach Nathan Jones, courtesy of goals either side of half time from captain Lloyd Jones and Tyreece Campbell.

Charlton, who have strengthened their squad with eight new arrivals this summer, are now unbeaten in four away games against teams who have been relegated from the top flight (W3 D1) and they are one of only three Championship sides with a 100% record after the opening two gameweeks.

Their next league match at The Valley against Preston North End takes place three days after their trip to Tottenham where the Addicks have not won since Alan Curbishley led his team to a 3-2 Premier League win back in November 2004.

In the EFL Cup, Charlton beat Cheltenham Town 3-1 in the first round earlier this month, but they have progressed beyond the second round just once in the last 10 years, reaching the quarter-finals in 2022-23. They were knocked out in the second round of last season’s competition by lower-league Cambridge United, losing 3-1 away from home.

Tottenham will be without injured quartet Xavi Simons, Dejan Kulusevski and Wilson Odebert (all knee) and Mohammed Kudus (thigh), while Micky van de Ven, Pedro Porro (both fitness) and Pape Sarr (thigh) are unlikely to be risked on Wednesday after missing the defeat to Brentford.

James Maddison landed awkwardly on his shoulder towards the end of last weekend’s match and has emerged as a doubt. £85m signing Mateus Fernandes, Rodrigo Bentancur and Lucas Bergvall could be the midfield trio who start against Charlton, with Sandro Tonali and ex-Addicks loanee Conor Gallagher reverting to the bench.

Twenty-year-old Archie Gray became Spurs’ youngest player to captain the club last time out and he could retain his starting spot at right-back, while Dominic Solanke will hope to return up front at the expense of Richarlison.

As for Charlton, Kayne Ramsay and Charlie Kelman remain sidelined through injury, while Josh Edwards has returned to training and is closing in on a return to first-team action, but an appearance against Spurs appears to be unlikely.

Wednesday’s fixture may also come too soon for new midfield signing Timothy Ouma, who has been building up his fitness with the club’s Under-21s since joining on loan from Slavia Prague.

Former Chelsea man Nathaniel Chalobah could continue in centre-midfield alongside Conor Coventry, while Jones will weigh up whether to stick with a front four of Campbell, Sonny Carey, Karlan Grant and Miles Leaburn who all started in the win over West Ham.

Tottenham Hotspur possible starting lineup:

Dubravka; Gray, Van Hecke, Danso, Udogie; Fernandes, Bentancur, Bergvall; Moore, Solanke, Tel

Charlton Athletic possible starting lineup:

Kaminski; Rankin-Costello, Jones, Burke, Bell; Chalobah, Coventry; Campbell, Carey, Grant; Leaburn

We say: Tottenham Hotspur 2-1 Charlton Athletic

Spurs will be desperate to put their opening-day horror show behind them and deliver a much-improved performance in front of an expectant home crowd, putting pressure on De Zerbi’s new-look side.

While a high-flying Charlton side possess the momentum to make life difficult for the hosts, the Premier League outfit should ultimately have enough quality to get the job done and progress to the third round.

Tottenham Hotspur play host to Charlton Athletic in the second round of the EFL Cup on Wednesday night.

Roberto De Zerbi’s new-look side suffered a disappointing 3-0 defeat away against Brentford on the opening weekend of the new Premier League season.

The North Londoners are keen to bounce back with a win against second-tier opposition, but they will have to cope without a number of first-team players.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Spurs’ latest injury and suspension news ahead of the fixture with the Addicks.
