Arsenal and Manchester United have reportedly joined the race for Tosin Adarabioyo.
The 26-year-old defender will be a free agent in the summer and several English clubs are keen on securing his services. Recently we covered reports that Liverpool and Tottenham are keen on the English defender and it seems that they will face competition from Arsenal and Manchester United now, as per HITC.
Adarabioyo has proven himself to be a reliable performer in the English top flight, and it is no surprise that the top clubs are keen on signing him. The opportunity to secure his services on a free transfer makes him a particularly attractive target and it will be interesting to see where he ends up.
Arsenal need to add more depth to their squad to do well across multiple competitions and match up to the likes of Manchester City. In addition to that, the Fulham ace will help them tighten up defensively and add more physicality and presence to the defensive unit.
Adarabioyo on a free transfer would be a coup
It is no secret that Manchester United need to improve defensively as well. They have looked quite vulnerable at the back and players like Harry Maguire and Jonny Evans might need to be replaced in the summer. Manchester United should ideally look to bring in two central defenders in the summer and signing Adarabioyo on a free transfer would be a major coup for them.
The 26-year-old defender will look to compete at the highest level at the stage of his career and the opportunity to join clubs like Arsenal and Manchester United will be quite attractive for him. They could provide him with the platform to compete for trophies in the coming seasons and it will be interesting to see where he ends up. Both clubs could offer him a lucrative contract as well.
With the competition from Liverpool and Tottenham, it will not be easy to secure his signature. Arsenal and Manchester United will probably have to offer him game time assurance in order to convince him to snub the other opportunities and join them instead.
