Tottenham are looking to get ahead in the race for Tosin Adarahioyo, with Liverpool also interested in a Bosman move for the Fulham star.
According to Football Insider, Tottenham are in regular contact with Tosin Adarabioyo and his representatives amid rumours of a move to north London. The 26-year-old will leave Fulham on a free transfer in the summer, with Liverpool also present in the race alongside many other domestic and overseas clubs.
Tottenham in pole position for Tosin Adarabioyo?
Tosin Adarabioyo is a valuable player and is available as a free agent in the market. A host of clubs are keen on the 26-year-old, who has decided to leave Fulham when his contract expires, which has come as. a bitter blow for Marco Silva and his club. He already has many clubs keeping tabs, with Newcastle United among those keen.
However, Tottenham are now looking to position itself as the frontrunner for the 26-year-old who has kept regular contact with Adarabioyo and his agents. Spurs are incredibly keen and have chased the defender since last summer and through the January window, but could now sign him on a Bosman move.
Ange Postecoglou wants another central defender in his ranks and might rate the 26-year-old highly. They did sign Radu Dragusin, but the Romanian has primarily been sitting on the bench so far. However, he continues to act as a proper cover for either Micky van de Ven or Cristian Romero.
As Spurs gear up for a return to European football, Postecoglou will need more depth in his backline. Hence, signing someone of the 26-year-old’s quality on a free transfer could allow Spurs to focus their funds on other positions, with Tottenham likely to sign a full-back, midfielder and another forward in the summer.
Liverpool also keen on Adarabioyo?
Liverpool are also keen on Adarabioyo, with the Merseysiders one of the many clubs chasing the 26-year-old. They are also looking to bolster their defensive ranks and might view the Fulham star as someone to cover for Virgil van Dijk or Ibrahima Konate.
For Adarabioyo, the choice of his new club might come down to the guarantees of regular playing time, something Liverpool may need to provide. The same might go for Tottenham, although the chances of the 26-year-old playing more for Spurs are high; hence, the north Londoners could be favourites in this chase.
