# Tottenham target fails deadline-day medical ahead of €50m transfer

**Tottenham are set to confirm two arrivals on deadline day, with Mykhaylo Mudryk and Tosin Adarabioyo set to join from Chelsea.**

If both deals go through, ten players will have joined [Roberto De Zerbi](https://readtottenham.com/2026/08/30/seven-tottenham-players-could-leave-transfer-deadline/)‘s side in the transfer window to cap off what has been a summer of change in North London.

During their almighty scramble to sign attacking players in August, [Tottenham were linked with Folarin Balogun](https://readtottenham.com/2026/08/11/recent-hours-tottenham-make-shock-move-for-e60m-rated-ex-arsenal-striker/), who was looking to leave AS Monaco at the time.

And now, Fabrizio Romano and Fabrice Hawkins have confirmed that his impending €50m move to Everton is now in jeopardy after concerns over his medical.

Romano doubled down on his claims, adding that Balogun and his camp insist he is fully fit and ready to feature.

The former Arsenal striker was linked with a return to North London, but it wasn’t to be as Tottenham pressed ahead with moves for Savio and Omar Marmoush.

And now, Balogin faces a race against time to complete his deadline-day move in what is quickly developing into an unexpected late transfer saga.
