Leading sports outlet The Athletic has published a comprehensive ranking of 155 transfers and loans completed by Premier League clubs this summer. The move of 25-year-old winger Mykhailo Mudryk from Chelsea to Tottenham on loan until the end of the season featured near the bottom of the list, placing 153rd.
Critics at the publication expressed significant skepticism regarding the deal, primarily citing Mudryk's extended absence from competitive football, as the player has not featured in an official match for Chelsea since November 2024. The authors offered a harsh comparison, questioning the logic of investing in a player who has been inactive for such a prolonged period.

A key factor in the move for the player was the presence of head coach Roberto De Zerbi, with whom he previously worked at Shakhtar. Despite the familiarity, the deal, which includes a 75 million pound buyout clause, remains a subject of intense scrutiny from football analysts.
