Chelsea are reportedly keen on signing 26-year-old Fulham defender Tosin Adarabioyo and snatch him from the grasps of Newcastle United.
According to a report from TEAMtalk, Chelsea are reportedly looking to beat Newcastle United to the signing of Tosin Adarabioyo. The Blues have offered the 26-year-old central defender a better package than the Tyneside outfit.
The former Manchester City defender will be a free agent next month, and it remains to be seen where he ends up. He has been linked with a move to a number of top clubs.
Adarabioyo will want to compete at the highest level, and the opportunity to join a club like Chelsea could be quite attractive. The Blues are one of the biggest clubs in the world, and they could help him win major trophies in the coming seasons. Chelsea will need to improve their defensive unit, and the 26-year-old could prove to be a quality acquisition.
He could be the ideal replacement for Thiago Silva. The 26-year-old as well settled in English football, and he could make an immediate impact at Stamford Bridge. Silva will be out of contract next month and he will have to be replaced adequately. Chelsea would do well to secure his services, and signing a player of his quality on a free transfer would represent an excellent business.
Newcastle United keen on Tosin Adarabioyo
Newcastle United are keen on the player as well. They will need to bring in a reliable partner for Sven Botman. Signing the 26-year-old defender for free would be a huge boost, and it would help them improve the other areas of their squad as well.
Both clubs will have to comply with the financial regulations this summer, and they cannot afford to overspend. Signing a top quality player for free would be a huge bonus for them. It will be interesting to see if Newcastle decide to offer the player a better contract after Chelsea’s lucrative proposal.
Both clubs are one of the wealthiest in the world, and they have the resources to offer the defender a premium contract. However, Chelsea have offered more competitive terms than Newcastle United. It will be interesting to see what the 26-year-old decides. Both clubs have an exciting project and a talented squad.
