West Ham United have cooled their interest in Fulham defender Tosin Adarabioyo, a target for Chelsea, Totteham, and Newcastle United.
Tosin Adarabioyo has been linked with a move to West Ham United in recent weeks. But it seems that the Hammers have decided to abandon their pursuit of the 26-year-old. The development will come as a boost for suitors like Chelsea, Tottenham and Newcastle United, who are keen on securing his services.
A report from HITC has claimed that the English centre-back will leave Fulham as a free agent in the summer transfer window. Meanwhile, West Ham need to bring in defensive reinforcements, and their decision to walk away from Adarabioyo will certainly come as a surprise. The Hammers have been vulnerable at the back, and they need to tighten up defensively.
Adarabioyo is a proven performer in the English top flight, and he would have improved West Ham at the back. The Hammers have conceded 70 goals in 36 league matches, and they cannot hope to push for European qualification with numbers like that. They must prioritise the signing of a quality central defender in the summer.
Chelsea, Newcastle, and Tottenham need Tosin Adarabioyo
Chelsea, Tottenham, and Newcastle United are keen on the 26-year-old as well, and it will be interesting to see where he ends up. Chelsea will need to replace Thiago Silva, who will be a free agent in the summer and rejoin Fluminense. The Brazilian has been exceptional for the Blues, and Adarabioyo could prove to be a useful alternative.
Meanwhile, Tottenham have conceded nine goals in their last three league matches, and they will need to bring in a quality defender at the end of the season. Adarabioyo could compete with the likes of Radu Dragusin, Micky van de Ven, and Cristian Romero for a starting spot next season.
At Newcastle United, they need to sign a quality partner for Sven Botman. The 26-year-old Fulham defender is well settled in the Premier League, and he could make an instant impact at all three clubs. Adarabioyo will certainly help them improve defensively, and whoever ends up signing him on a free transfer will have a major bargain on their hands.
The defender is entering his peak years, and he will look to join an ambitious club capable of winning trophies. All three clubs have exciting projects at their disposal, and it remains to be seen which one he opts for.
