Chelsea FC have accepted transfer bids for three first-team players, with Mykhailo Mudryk and Tosin Adarabioyo heading to Tottenham Hotspur and Robert Sanchez joining Como. The deals were confirmed this week, according to a report from BBC Sport, and are pending the completion of personal terms.
Chelsea currently sit third in the Premier League with six points from two wins, having scored seven goals and conceded five. Their next challenge is a trip to face ninth-placed Arsenal on September 6th, a fixture detailed on the club's fixtures page. The squad is also managing absences, with Enzo Fernández among those currently sidelined, as listed on the injuries page.
Why is Mudryk moving to Tottenham?
Tottenham's pursuit of Mykhailo Mudryk is driven by manager Roberto de Zerbi's desire to reunite with the winger. The 25-year-old previously played under de Zerbi at Shakhtar Donetsk before his high-profile £61 million move to Stamford Bridge. Mudryk has not played a competitive match since November 2024 due to a suspension for a banned substance, but he has been eligible to return since July 2025. Spurs see him as a key addition to their attacking options.
The move for defender Tosin Adarabioyo, 28, is part of a defensive reshuffle at Tottenham. He is set to join on a permanent deal as a direct replacement for Kevin Danso, who is departing for Sunderland on an initial loan. This double swoop represents a significant raid on a Premier League rival as the transfer window reaches its climax.
What prompted Chelsea's goalkeeper change?
Robert Sanchez's expected loan move to Italian side Como follows a difficult start to the season for the goalkeeper. He was made available after two errors in Chelsea's opening Premier League match at Fulham led directly to goals. The 28-year-old's departure paves the way for new signing Emiliano Martinez, who joined from Aston Villa for £7.5 million, to take the number one spot.
Como, newly promoted to Serie A, are building a strong connection with Chelsea. They signed defender Trevoh Chalobah for £31 million earlier in this transfer window, and Sanchez's season-long loan continues that trend. The Italian club are actively leveraging the market to strengthen their squad for the top flight.
What does this mean for Chelsea's midfield?
While outgoings are being finalized, uncertainty remains over the future of midfielder Enzo Fernández. The Argentine is attracting interest from Manchester City, but no formal offer has been tabled. Any potential departure would hinge on Chelsea securing a substantial fee, previously valued around £120 million, and using those funds to adequately strengthen the squad elsewhere.
These exits come as Chelsea enjoy a perfect start to the league campaign. With six points on the board and a positive goal difference, the team's early form can be tracked via the standings page. The club's activity in this window is clearly focused on refining the squad balance ahead of the demanding schedule. The next test for the Blues is an away match against Arsenal on September 6th.
