Newcastle United are considering a feasible summer move for Tosin Adarabioyo, who is set to leave Fulham on a free transfer.
According to The Telegraph, Newcastle United is eyeing some bargain defender deals in the market, with Tosin Adarabioyo being one of their essential targets in that aspect. The soon-to-be-free Fulham defender has plenty of other suitors, including Manchester United, Liverpool and Tottenham.
Newcastle United eye Tosin Adarabioyo swoop
In January, the transfer market showed a different side when clubs barely moved an inch towards signing new players owing to PSR obligations. The summer window might surprise a few, for some significant spending entities may keep their purse strings tight, but the same problem persists.
Newcastle United have come under scrutiny for that, and despite having plenty of injury issues, they barely entered the market for recruits. Some fresh problems to their defenders may have already scuppered their plans for the summer, as Eddie Howe will want to address the issues in his central defence.
Sven Botman and Jamal Lascelles have suffered long-term injuries that could keep them out for more than nine months. Newcastle United has other priorities with its limited budget, so they are targeting bargain deals. Tosin Adarabioyo emerged on their radar, as the Fulham star is set to leave the club on a free transfer.
Signing the 26-year-old defender would allow them to focus their funds towards other vital areas, like bringing in a new midfielder and a centre-forward. Bringing the soon-to-be-free Fulham star may come with its challenges, as the centre-back has plenty of high-profile suitors chasing his signature.
Manchester United, Liverpool, Tottenham in Adarabioyo hunt
A host of Premier League giants are chasing Adarabioyo for his experience and the cost of acquiring the 26-year-old defender. Manchester United have plenty of problems at the back and will have a shortage of centre-backs in the summer when some of their existing stars leave.
Tottenham have been chasing Adarabioyo since last summer and could finally make a push to bring him on a free transfer. Liverpool are also eyeing an extra defender to potentially replace Joel Matip, who might leave at the end of the campaign. Hence, Newcastle United have plenty of problems ahead in their quest to sign Adarabioyo in the summer.
